Recently, two of the guilds I attend had pincushion exchanges. I think everyone should have a basketful of pincushions in their sewing room. Man, there are some adorable pincushions out there! And now my personal stash of pincushions has grown since I took the photo...they keep multiplying...

Show me your pincushions! What's your favorite?

Love the little Owl I made yesterday from a pattern HERE: http://moonstitches.typepad.com/phot...ial/index.html

cute pincushions, I love pincushions!

Lucky you, I just love pincushions.

Thanks you so much for the link to the owl tutorial, it's precious.

Nice collection

I have too many to keep out anymore. I think I'll find a basket to keep them all in!

DH and I both sew, and we are always "..where's the pincushion?" I guess we need to make some more!!

One is too many for me I'm afraid. :( My cats think pincushions are cat toys and that makes them just too dangerous for me to risk using. I have a couple, but can't keep pins in them at all.

I have no pincushions - I use a magentic thingy which lets me pick up pins fast from table or floor.

Plus, I agree - it would just become a cat toy.

Although hmm those sure are cute.

I'm with you. I don't think you can have too many pincushions. What a great collection you have. :)

( Although I have to admit to keeping them away from the dog. He would love to get his choppers on one of the felted wool kind.)

Those pincushions are delightful. thanks so much for posting those pics. your owl is my fav.

Your collection is wonderful. I really like the little owl. I do not have a pin cushion to my name. Poor me. I'm afraid the cat would think it's a toy.

I made this from the cap of a 2-liter bottle. If I use elastic it can be worn as a ring. This one has string and is tied to the handle of a small basket I carry with me.

I love that owl. Thanks for the link. Since many have said that their cat would think it was a toy, I am going to make one and stuff it with catnip for her. I use the magnetic cup myself.

Is that an elephant in the first picture, did you make it. Do you remember where you found the directions? My hubby loves elephants.

I love pincushions to, and don't feel that I can ever have to many.

Oh my, what a wonderful collection!

Cute collection of pin cushions!! Love the chickens! :)

I love pincushions..love to make them. I have a few..

I have several of those also. I use all mine. One is knitted that I've had for 40 years.

Too many pin cushions? Oh yeh... never can find them till I don't need them Have two one in each sewing box..... sometimes LOL

The elephant was made by someone in my guild... loved the turtles also!

Love it!

Love them ! Would love the pattern for the elephant! Dd loves them. I have 3 tomatoes but would love some of those!

They are all just way toooooo cute. I love the owl. I live on Little Owl Trail. I must make one and then some for my neighbors on my street. Thanks for sharing.

That owl pincushion is adorable!

Love your collection of pincushions. I have another site for you for a Hexi- caddy pincushion. http://pennyshands.blogspot.com/2010...-tutorial.html

wow! I love them all especially the owl.I want to make some now. I often think about it but never get round to making any. You have inspired me

never enough , love your collection

Your collection is stunning!! Thanks for the link to the owl cushion. My BFF birthday is coming up and I think this will make a great little "giftie" (we always call it that)

Love all your pin cushions and thanks so much for the link!! :thumbup:

Made me think.... I don't own a pincushion. Maybe I need one. I just piece and don't use pins but my goal for the summer is to become proficient in needle turn applique and I want to get pins for applique. I like the piece of cake ones. they are really cute.

be great for gifts if you have a mind to that is.

v.ery cute.... love the tea pot and owl.

I collect china pincushions and have stayed away from most of the cloth ones except the satin with the little people around them. I always thought they were cute but didn't have any place to put them. When you said a 'basketful of pincushions" I thought what a great idea.:-)

I love pincushions, but don't have a nice collection like you do.

Too many pincushions??? Is that even possible???

I am getting hooked on pin cushions also. I don't think so. :-)

I use the magnetic one as well and I love it. I have a few other pincushions but use the magnetic one 99% of the time.

Wow - you have quite a wonderful collection. How long have you been collecting? I love the little owl and the teapot amazes me. Gotta try that one! My SIL collects them too. She is a retired Home Economics teacher and she also bakes fancy cakes, so for her BD I made her a little cake on a pedestal pincushion that she loves. 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!

Oh I love just that owl one!!!

And one can NEVER have too many pincushions....!!!
