Redkimba, those are pretty!!!!!

This is a really great idea. It might keep me a bit more organised when I'm working.

I have a pattern for a teapot pincushion. It sits in a spool of thread. The name of the pattern is Tee Time Pincushions by Turkey Track Designs. Has 5 different ones to make: teapot, cat, buttercup, tomato, and sunflower.

When I use crushed walnut shells, I line the fabric with fusible interfacing. It keeps the shells in, and gives the project nice body.
I buy the shells at a pet store. Got a 10 or 12 lb. bag for about $10. :)

This was posted on one of my yahoo groups. It's really cool:

Always used human hair. I collect it from our local training salon. They are brilliant and will collect a bag for me. If I specify the colour I want, they will only collect that (blonde, brunette, non coloured). They don't charge me either.

I have noticed that some people on the board are using crushed walnut shells. Just be aware of nut allergy problems with these. A nut allergy can kill, so please make sure that anyone you give or sell these to is aware of the nut content of the filling.

I haven't made this one yet, but I guess it could be used as a pincushion

Patchwork Angel.com has a pattern for the teapot. Sorry i don't know how to send you the link.

I just remembered making these way back when .
