hello! the most beautiful pincushion i have ever seen. and the most clever! i don't do these little projects and i found this accidentally, but if anyone does it, please show it to me. i would love to see another interpretation.

Is this the one? It is very pretty!

yes, and thank you for finding the right address. i couldn't for the life of me figure it out so i took the long way around.

You are quite welcome!! :D

Thanks for the link!!
YES...that is a very pretty pin cushion and a great tutorial for making it.

Thanks for the link, guess I'll just trace my shape on heavy cardboard or plastic & it should work okay? We don't get many extra CDs in this house.

i used to get them as advertisements at my house. we used them for everything, and finally just threw them away. we recently changed from windows to mac and i can't use some history and encyclopedia ones. if my daughter doesn't want them, i'll be happy to send you some.

pm if you want them.

You could also use the plastic top from a coffee can, and maybe put a
circle of cardboard in it for strength. I'm definitely making one!

Thank you, Butterflywing and mgshaw, for finding it!

That sure is a pretty one!! I like she recycled CD's to make it too. I love pincushions..they are fun to make. If you make this one, we want to see it! Only I think I'd opt for more satin stitches instead of beads and shells...might be hard on the pins if you weren't looking!LOL Skeat

Just love the pincushion pattern provided by mgshaw. I like to collect pin cushions and my son got me a nice shelf for Christmas that will be perfect for this. :mrgreen:

That is beautiful. I asked at work yesterday if anyone had some throwaway CDs and I got about 3 dozen of them from a lady co-worker. I'll make one of them for her. I haven't done embroidery in many, many years so it probably won't look like that one. :wink:

Those pincushions are beautiful. One of our ladies at the club was making one last week and I was facsinated when I saw the CD going in. This one is pretty.

Thank you sooooooo much for this.. I love it.. can't wait to try it!!!

Its absolutly gorgeous :lol: :lol:

Butterflywing, those are such beautiful pincushions! What tremendous talent she has! I'm aching to try making. I was thinking of using canning lids for the base. Once, when I was on Ivory Blushes Blogspot, i saw a smaller version made with frozen juice lids, but I cannot locate that one. Anyone know the link?

Oh Poo! I finally found it, and answered my own question:

Did you all also see the other beautiful versions she (Lisa?) has made?
Here is a bluebird one that is just gorgeous:
