I never thought of the pumpkins as pincushions. They are really just for decorations. But guess you can use them for the pincushions. And yes, you glue the flowers on. It's so fun decorateing them. And they are so super easy to make. I know there are two different sizes of them in the pattern. Seems like there might be 3 sizes. But my memory isn't as good as it used to be.
Those hot pads are so easy to make. A friend had bought one. She asked me if I could make her some new ones. So she gave me her old one. I'm not sure what was in the old one she had. It looked like kitty litter. But it was scented. Don't know if kitty litter will scent or not. Never tried that. But it is heavier than rice. I just took hers apart and took measurements.
I'm going to be making some new colors soon. I'll do a tuterial.
