Very nice.
What do you stuff your felted pin cushions with?

And that is also what I use, I have one on my cutting table and one by my sewing machine.
You need to find something that you like and just go for it.

Craftybear posts all these awesome sites. She posted a whole bunch on pincushions one day. I have to go home and find the site, but I love these flower pin cushions. I am a beginner on stuff that's not quilting and I understood how to make it. I've even made a few more with this absolutely HORRID fabric. What was cool is it already had lines like an asterick and it was easy to follow with the embroidery thread to make the petals.
Here is a picture:

I can't find one I want on-line and will likely be going to a large quilt show in September so I hope they have some there. What is your favorite pin cushion?

I make Ball mason jar pincushions to sell, these are very easy to make too.
I don't like the tomato one either.
