I have several pin cushions. I would count them but they're all still packed.
I've been to a couple of retreats where the goodie bags were filled by the retreat goers so I got tons of neat pin cushions from that. Some of the ones I've received from the goodie bags are a Texas chick, a bird on a golf tee nest, a knit star, a couple of bottle cap finger pin cushions, and an heirloom tomato. Some of the other ones I have are one of the ones with the spools around it, a ceramic swan, a tiny ceramic pitcher, a crown with a tape measure in the bottom and thimble in the top, the rocking chair with spool holders on the sides, a ball of wool thing, and a hand knit round one. There are probably a half dozen or more that I've forgotten. I have a fancy tea cup that I'm going to turn into a pin cushion one of these days. |
i'm so excited abt this swap. i hope someone starts a Christmas decoration swap.
i've just spent 2 hrs looking up designs for pincushions. everything from flowers, aliens, dogs,cats,bcees,dragons,turtles, watermelons...omg..there's just to much to choose from. any suggestions on what i should do. anyone have a preference in what they would like to rec?????? don't forget to look at bean bags for some great ideas on items to make!!! |

I hope you post it on the Pictures from the pincushion swap. |
I love your collection, Hispatchwork. Thanks for sharing, maybe others will get some good ideas when they make theirs.

have 3 machines set up ready to sew and a pin cushion by each, one on the cutting table, one on the file cabinet by a design wall, two on dresser by other cutting table, plus 2 hanging on the wall - one by my iron and one by design wall, one on my quilting machine and one on a shelf by my quilting machine. I move them around as/or if needed.
