terrific pin cushions. I agree everyone should have lots of them. They are so much fun to look at. Some people collect salt and pepper shakers.It's the same with pin cushions. Mary

Cute, Cute, Cute! I have a tomato one but never use it and my favorite is one of the"bracelet" ones. It went missing for awhile but when I moved & had to really condense my sewing stuff I found it!! I don't really use pins much in my quilting though but I wore that bracelet ALL the time when I was garment sewing!

I loved them all, especially the teapot one. I just recently started to make some with a friend. We are using the small jars, it is kind of fun.

Those pincushions are adorable! I love pincushions but I only have two- however since I have four machines I need more than that! I'm always having to move pincushions to the machine I'm working at so I have a place to stab the pins as I'm taking them out of the fabric as I sew. Plus a couple at my cutting table. Plus a couple because I'd like to keep all my different pins in separate cushions...LOL

My girls love my pincushions too. They like to arrange the pins in different shapes on the cushions. My five year old took my green apple pincushions, which has red glass-head pins in it, and stuck them all in a filled heart shape. It was cute lol.

Show me your pincushions! What's your favorite?
