Pincushions
#43
My very favorite is the one attached to a thread catcher which was gifted to me by a quilting friend about 8 years ago. It sits on my sewing table all the time. When I need something more portable I use a wrist pin cushion that I made by glueing a small oblong cushion to one of the wrist tape dispensers. It's small and very comfy to wear unlike some I have tried on.

I made pin cushions for my quilt group. Bought tiny clay pots, stuffed them and covered with an old piece of antique quilt (cutter quilt) that was used to pieces. Glue the fabric down inside the pot and they finish up with a round top and turn out really cute. You could use any fabric to cover. Hope this is helpful.

The Riley Blake fabric site has a ton of freebie pin cushions! It has the old style trailer one with real wheels that is so dang cute! Check it out sometime, pages to go through. There are fish, doughnut style ones stacked, birds, houses. Lots to choose from. I was just over there a couple days ago.

I know a lot of people fill pin cushions with the crushed walnut shells. Some people are severely allergic to nuts. I have one filled with walnut shells that I keep on a display shelf and I don't use it. My DD is very allergic and could have a reaction if she touches a pin that was in the cushion.
