from the pattern: "Buttons of different colors were sewn to help me keep my needles organized since I do different kinds of needlework. That way, I keep all the needles for one purpose at the same location using the color coded buttons:"

Such a wonderful idea to do this!!! I love the entire teacup idea. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the link!!

yes, good idea with the different colors of buttons for different types of needles

thanks!

what a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the link, Crafty Bear! I collect old tea cups, so now I know when I see a cup that I like that has a flaw in it (like a crack), I don't have to bypass it! Great idea!!

I found a bunch oif old tea cupos at the thrift store, and I got a '"tea set" to use for pincushions. so cute, still, thanks for the link.

I need to search for a few too!

Love this idea. Thanks for sharing.

i love that teacup idea.

Thanks for the link.

Terrific Idea .... I'm also thinking old creams and sugars!

The possibilities are endless!

Thanks for the link. Now I know what to do with all the old mugs/teacups I don't use and just can't get rid of! :lol:

I need to look around the house to see what else I can convert to sewing notions.

Thank You Crafty, I love old tea cups and this way I can use them too.

Thank You Crafty, I love old tea cups and this way I can use them too. OOPS !! OOPS!!

Thank You Crafty, I love old tea cups and this way I can use them too. OOPS!! OOPS!! OOPS!! I don't know what happened, but I posted three times, Sorry

I made one for my mom from a small limoges china basket that I bought at Goodwill. I'll have to remember to take a picture of it, it's so pretty.

What a great idea. I have a lot of teacups that just sit in a box in the garage.

yes, get your tea cups and start making cute pincushions, also would be great for quilt guild favors at meetings

great Christmas gift for quilters too!

Ok... off to the thrift shop! It's half price week!!

Darn! found a really cute cup and saucer at the thrift shop and when I got home, it was chipped. The woman didn't wrap it very well. Oh well... it was only $1 and I found some other neat things too. Next time! : (

you will have fun, go ahead and use it and maybe cover up the chip spot with a small pincushion like the strawberry shape one to cover up the chip

thank you craftybear.
this is interesting.
