My favorite pin cushion right now is actually a small round pillow about 8 inches across made in a lovely drapery fabric. I picked it up at a thrift store for $1.00 and it has barely been used. Its filled with poly and I love it. I can put as many pins in it as I want and it fits perfectly on my cutting table. I have many other pincushions too but I really like the poly filled ones the best.
