Ok, this is what I have, some of them were gifts. I got to make the owl next!

Mother, grandmothes,aunts,etc. all had many pincushions. I don't know where I went wrong - must have been something lacking in my upbringing LOL. I've always kept pins in a cute little tin of some kind, and later in the plastic cases they came in. I have several machines and there's always a container of pins within easy reach.
Pincushions, huh??? something to think about....

I have 2 regular size pincushions, which I was forever losing. So, I decided to make one that would be impossible to lose. I found a print in my stash of spools of thread and threaded needles, cut it into six 7" squares, and made a big block-shaped pincushion that is impossible to lose sight of! I put a small bag of gravel in the bottom to give it stability, and filled it with polyester. I love it. It holds lots and lots of pins, and I never misplace it!

Really cute ! Thanks for sharing!

OMgosh. I thought I had a lot on my shelves but yours are absolutely awesome. Now I don't feel so bad about collecting them and joing any pin cushion swaps I find. Thanks for sharing. A little green here. LOL

I have quite afew pincushions, but could use more. The owl is adorable. I have at least 2 per room, but still never have one where I need it. I'll have to make another. What do most of you use for the inside??

Adorable!!

Luv the owl, I'm going to add him to my collection! Thanks.

Nice collection, very creative. I love the made in occupied japan one with the men holding the cushion, but the most practical one has to be the large one in the back.

I collect the old ones, love the wear that they show over the years. I also collect the old sewing kits.
