LyndaWhen a dying man asked his pastor "How long does it take to die?" his pastor's heartfelt reply was "A lifetime." Live life to the fullest, but stop now and then to enjoy the sunset.
I am so glad you found your pincushion. It is very pretty and I look forward to your tutorial.
Glad you found those beautiful pin cushions. They are so pretty.
Glad it turned up safe and sound!
Prettiest pin cushions ever ... and the saucer provides a nice place to set snippers, stitch rippers, etc.

Glad you found your pin cushion. I have a ton of bone china cups & saucers, all gifts. Excellent way to use them. Better than them just sitting in the china cabinet. They will make excellent gifts. Looking forward to your tute.
I made one of those teacup pincushions. The saucer was a little on the plain side so I added a small lace doily between the cup and saucer for a more Victorian look.
Nice touch ... and good idea!Originally Posted by ScrappyAZ
Did you glue it on, or leave it free so it could be laundered, as needed?

I glued the doily between the cup and saucer. Never thought about leaving it free to be laundered. Now I have yucky thoughts of the doily being dusty! I'll have to take a look.
If the doily gets dirty, just wash the saucer at the same time as the doily. Am I awake or not?
