What to make pincushions for quilting friends for Christmas. Here's the link to the directions: http://www.fatquartershop.com/Free-Q...ore_id=499&T=1 Cute, huh?

Their suggestin for filler is plastic pellets which sounds ok. Not sure if I can find these. Want it to be "weighted". Any other suggestions for filler other than kitty litter? I worry about rice or bean...bugs.
