Oh my I just love PINCUSHIONS, thank you for the owl tute, i love owls.

I loved all your pincussions , I esspecially love the Bird , the Chickens made with strips , & the Teapot. Would you ever share the patterns?

terrific pin cushions. I agree everyone should have lots of them. They are so much fun to look at. Some people collect salt and pepper shakers.It's the same with pin cushions. Mary

Cute, Cute, Cute! I have a tomato one but never use it and my favorite is one of the"bracelet" ones. It went missing for awhile but when I moved & had to really condense my sewing stuff I found it!! I don't really use pins much in my quilting though but I wore that bracelet ALL the time when I was garment sewing!

I loved them all, especially the teapot one. I just recently started to make some with a friend. We are using the small jars, it is kind of fun.

Those pincushions are adorable! I love pincushions but I only have two- however since I have four machines I need more than that! I'm always having to move pincushions to the machine I'm working at so I have a place to stab the pins as I'm taking them out of the fabric as I sew. Plus a couple at my cutting table. Plus a couple because I'd like to keep all my different pins in separate cushions...LOL

My girls love my pincushions too. They like to arrange the pins in different shapes on the cushions. My five year old took my green apple pincushions, which has red glass-head pins in it, and stuck them all in a filled heart shape. It was cute lol.

I collect them too. I like seeing the collections others have. That cake is beautiful!
Here are some of mine...some I made, received, or bought.

Those are amazing.

Oh, I really love the little owl, too!!!

LOVE THE OWL!! i HAVE TO SAY THE ONLY PIN CUSHION i HAVE IS THE TRADITIONAL TOMATO! Sorry for the caps! Hit the cap button!

How cute - I just have the standard pin cushion - now I think I need to make the owl. Printing right now!

Very cute.. My sister loves Owls.. Im going to make her one. Im sure she will love it.. Thanks a million..

So cute! Quite a collection.

That's a lot of pincushions. I love the little owl.

Ohhh....your little owl is so darn cute.
Here is a link for other patterns maybe there are some you don't have yet.

So cute. I just replaced my old tomato pincushion. I took it apart to get the needles I lost out of it. Got 30 needles out of it. I replaced it with a bigger tomato.

Golly, so many clever people on this board....really cute pincushions.

The owl is pretty cute.

Nice collection!

I agree with Tammy! When I get my camera coordinated with my computer I will post some.

Believe it or not, today I was looking at an empty white plastic container that had a recessed area on the right side in an odd shape and a small rectangle area to the left. I was thinking of fashioning a pincushion in the right side and using left side to hold small scissors and other small sewing stuff besides ONE of my sewing machines. LOL

Great collection! I have a few pincushion (just 5) and I thought it was too much !!!! Thank you! I feel much better now!!
Patricia

I agree!

love them all - can never have too many

Can never have too many! Just got another one last week from a friend...whenever it is our birthday, we give to everyone in the group...easier than remembering to give gifts throughout the year, and then we receive whenever it is a friends birthday...have gotten several pincushions over the years. There are 12 of us in the group...so we give once but get gifts another 11 times a year...fun...and then also our Christmas gift exchange...even more fun!

Wow, Rajean, what a fun collection - thanks for sharing your pictures! I love all your little water-bottle lid pincushion rings, all the donuts, the basketful of owls, and oooh, the mice! Do you have a pattern for the mice? So adorable!

:) LOL

Thanks Jacquie and everyone for your nice comments on my cake pincushion! I don't have it with me anymore to measure, but it was small, a little bigger than the circumference of a Campbell's soup can. You can kind of tell how big it is if you realize that the pins are just regular pearl headed straight pins.

Holey Moley what a lot of neat collections, great ideas and helpful links on this thread! Thanks for posting this topic doowopddbop! (love your board name by the way) I hope this keeps going because it is turning into a great resource for ideas.

very cute

How adorable!! Gets my creative juices flowing!

Wonderful pin cushions! I love pin cushions, too! I have a collection started, but only have 5 so far.

I love pincushions, too!! I recently found one in my Mom's sewing things that was made from a plastic pop bottle cap... it has a little piece of elastic that would fit around 1 finger... so cute... The only collection I have is of cute patterns to make cute pincushions...

I agree... you can't have too many!!! :lol:

Eleven? These are so cute! I made an owl just now, to give to a friend tomorrow.

Awesome, fireworkslover!

I only have two....but I'm going to have a set of owls soon! That owl is SO cute!!Thanks for sharing!

Great collections! I only have a few too!

Love these - thanks for sharing these photos and Owl tutorial!

They're just so cute and take minutes to make.

HisPatchwork just sent me a tutorial link for her adorable mice.
