I'm thinking the same thing! If I didn't toss them on the floor, hubby would have NOTHING to do when he came in my room! lol

Your hubby comes in your room? Mine comes to the door, looks in and shakes his head and leaves.

tlrnhi 11-06-2008 04:38 AM

Yes, he comes in the room, but mainly to give me a kiss before he heads upstairs for the night. If he is vacuuming the 2d floor, he will run the vacuum on the carpet in my room.

hope all enjoy making this one it is a nice size.....found a chicken one too....

joy 11-06-2008 10:46 AM

I made one of those pincushions when the pattern first came out.... I am so pleased with it, no more threads on everything I touch..... took a copy of the pattern at the same time, was so pleased as I couldn't find it later on... I couldn't remember where I got the pattern from and still can't.... also a plastic cup is good to put into it otherwise when emptying the threads out the threads are inclined to stick to the material... is one of the better things I have made as it is so handy... I put wool in mine and four sinkers from my husbands stash.....

middysmom 11-06-2008 11:40 AM

I've been searching for where to buy the emery grit for pincushions. it's the stuff inside the tomato pincushions from the stores that keeps your pins sharp.

gcathie 11-07-2008 07:19 AM

Sorry babeegirl I have no idea....maybe you could use an old one from a tomato

joy 11-07-2008 10:47 AM

Sorry Cathie, but this is not the one, that is made up of hearts, the one I was after was a flower pattern with petals on top..... have seen it somewhere lately but just can't figure out where.... thank you for your trouble... much appreciated.

gcathie 11-07-2008 01:21 PM

it is in pictures forum....pagenquilter.....good luck....bump

I am making a turtle pin cushion for Mum's stocking this year. I decided this is the year I am going to make a different pin cushion to add to her stocking for her sewing room. I have all the pieces cut and sewn, I just need to stuff it now. Once its completed, I'll take a photo

nellie 11-29-2008 07:47 PM

That daggone strap.....I didn't understand it but here is what I did I think anything is better than nothing...just make something close to a strap....:-)


triciasquilts
When I do anything that requires a strap, I cut my piece of fabric wide enough to press the edges in once and then fold and press together. Then I do a straight stitch down both sides. This eliminate having to turn them and they come out perfect. I will use spray starch when pressing to help hold before sewing. Hope this helps all with making them
triciaquilts suggested this and I think it is a fab idea....I'm gonna give it a try on my next one.....

sewjoyce 12-24-2008 07:22 AM

Looks ok to me :wink:

Lynda in TN 12-24-2008 08:10 AM

GCathie, those are so wonderful. Thanks for the patterns. Someone, maybe you?, sent me a chicken from the Frenzy group and I love it. And your bag is so much nicer than the one I made with the rectangle cushion! Did you put non-skid on the back? I doubt it...probably didn't need it. Thanks again! Merry Christmas!
