pincushions
 

I have been making pincushions : ) I fill them with crushed walnut shells.

Those are really cute--do you crush the walnuts yourself? Your color choices are great--thanks for sharing. Donna

Very cute!!

both are great. the heavy thread on the petals... what that sewn by machine? what kind of thread is it?

Wow, these are cute. Good Job

Very cute..

Very nice. I like the simplicity of your pincushions!

Thank you! I buy my crushed walnut shells at a pet store(they are sold for reptiles : ) It is a 10 quart bag, but as many pincushions as I plan to make, it is cheaper than buying at a LQS.

Beautiful pin cushions.

I hand stitch them(the appliqué was the kind where you use interfacing and turn), the embroidery thread is single ply.
I find hand stitching relaxing : )
