If the doily gets dirty, just wash the saucer at the same time as the doily. Am I awake or not?

I will be looking forward on your tutorial - I LOVE cups and saucers. It would be nice to make a pin cushion or 2 for me and friend or two.

These are so cute. I am looking forward to the tute too, I think these would make nice gifts for my quilting ladies. Thank you for sharing.

I can so relate to what you are saying. I am exactly the same way. Got to be doing something all the time. When I could not quilt due to a bad injury, I took up making Baby caps for the hospital and making pin cushions out of cup/saucers and various flea market knick knacks. Didn't see where you said you made the pin cushions or bought them. Here are a couple of my favorite pin cushions. I love yours. Did you apoxy the cup to the saucer? I didn't read where you said you were going to do a tutorial. I am really looking forward to seeing how others do their pin cushions. I think that is a great idea.

Whenever I clean out my sewing/craft room, it is like going to a flea market or thrift store. I find a lot of things that I had forgotten I even had. I also have to take knitting, crocheting or hand work of some kind with me wherever I go. It is an obsession, but is nice to know I am not alone. So glad you found your pin cushion.


[quote] This morning I was getting ready to go to with DH to a flea market about an hour and half away. I picked up a bag of knitting and there was the pincushion in the bottom of the bag under some baby caps. I had decided that it had run away for ever but it came home. I had had a make-up quilting class on Thursday afternoon after my knitting class on Thursday morning. I had put the pincushion in the knitting bag when I took it from the car. I just didn't remember that I had taken it on Thursday! I would have found it next week when I got ready for the knitting class. Being an obsessive compulsive personality, I can't just ride in a car. I have to do something with my hands. The blue cup normally sits on my desk by my bed. The gold/white cup stays on the cutting table, and the pink on lives by the sewing machine.

I'm glad your pin cushion came home! And looking forward to your tutorial. And...I have a set of dishes like the blue and white ones - from my dear Mom :-D

I was wondering if you asked Tony or St Anthony for help or did you just luck out. Maybe you need to make a traveling one so you will know where it is and not have to use your stay-at-home pin chusions.

Glad the missing pin cushion was found. They are very pretty. Will try to watch for your tutorial.

Very clever idea!

I'm like most of you on this board, I have to be creating something all the time. If no I'm playing Sudoku or crossword puzzles.
In my half Swedish family it was a tradition to give A bride tea cups and saucers when she was married. i received a dozen then. Over the years, I've inherited and been given more. One day I counted them and found out that I had 36. We have 8 grandchildren, 4 boys and four girls. 36 divided by 8 gave me 4 to give to each grandchild when they marry. I also give them clear glass dessert plates and a note explaining the tradition. Since I'm keeping 4 it looks like I'll have to use one of mine and make a pincushion. I love your idea!
