My DH and i found the glass pedestal at an antique barn. I sewed a cylinder in white satin, filled it with saw dust, and embellished it with ribbonwork, then attached it to the pedestal. A fun project!
Sure is really pretty... |
The owl pincushion is so cute! Your collection is wonderful. I only have 1 pincushion...I think I need more!

Gosh i love them all especially the owl, elephant and that cake is to die for. I am so glad to get a look at all the different ones that are out there.

I love all your pin cushions but I only have the magnatic kind. Best buy ever.

I tend to like pin cushions myself. One of my favorite cushions that I gave my girlfriend recently because she had no sewing supplies and was starting to sew again, was a china cup made into a pin cushion. I just loved it and handed it to her full of pins. Another old pin cusher I have is a turtle made out of different colors of gingham and prairie points around the bottom that I made some 30+ years ago and didn't really appreciate it until about 10-15 years ago. The cushion I use the most is a stuffed rainbow that my son won(?) out of one of these "grab-it" things in grocery stores that are filled with stuffed animals & toys. I think he was 16 at the time. That has been my favorite pin cushion for 25 years.
