My answer would be NO! I don't think that you can have enough. I don't have very many and I think that I need some more.

do you think if I make a pin cushion for my daughters they will start to quilt?
That owl pin cushion is something my daughter would love!

i just wonder how safe that silica gel would be in a pincushion. i believe it is harmful if swallowed and i am always holding a pin or needle between my lips for brief moments of time. i know i dont want anything in my pincusions that are not human digestable. plus i wonder if silica gel can come in contact with the skin. and once your pins have been sitting in silica gel, what happens if you prick your finger? does that chemical have a chance to enter your body? just my inquiring mind.

for me, if my pins rust i would just purchase some more as they are not that expensive.

okay i think i will make a few of the smaller owl pincushions for an upcoming swap in holiday fabrics. i will post pics once i am done.

Love the pincushions.

just saw this post, love the pincushions, I am on a pincushion making binge, love making the little things (and sometimes big things)

edited to add, I made the little owl awhile back. mine is quite small but would be easy to resize.

I love pincushions! I don't know how to make any. I have some friends who give me some as gifts. But I would love to have a huge collection.

here is another pin cushion I made, I LOVE this one...

here is the latest pincushion that i created for a swap partner. it's a snow owl bride pincusion. the design is my own.[ATTACH=CONFIG]293026[/ATTACH]

here is another snow owl bride pincushion i created for a swap gift. i design these as i am sewing them so i never quite know what one will look like until i am finished with it. they are fun to create and make.
