Okay! Lol... I have some blank miniature wooden nesting dolls similar to these but a small set of three http://www.matrioshka-gift-shop.com/catalog/m5.htm my son was playing with one and I thought it would be really cool to turn the largest two into a pincushions by putting in the stuffing and gluing fabric to the bottom half, so that the top half would fit right over the top, acting as a lid to keep all the pins secure on the go! I want to make the biggest one for pins and the medium size one for needles and the smallest just a decoration.

What do you think?

I think that would be adorable!

Perfect idea!!!!! You could even use mod podge and put fabric over the wooden part. They will be really cute!

That would save me from trying to use my rusty / barely there painting skills! Lol! There is a reason I took up quilting and not painting = )

Okay, I put a quickie tutorial together, please note, the one I will make for the swap will be completely different so no spoiler worries! http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-66343-1.htm#1626345 (I'm still working on actual words but I think the pictures cover the steps enough for now)
