I have two magnetic bowls and a pin cushion that my daughter made me when she was in grade school. I will never use that. It's for show only. I would love to make a few pin cushions, but am hesitant. I need to go and check out some sites and get the right materials and try making a couple of them. I think it would be fun. I threw away my old pin cushions years ago when I bought my magentic bowls. Shame on me.
