The hen with the purple topknot escaped from my coop. May I have her back, please?

Wonderful pincushions! I collect them, but don't have any of these.. guess I'd better get busy and make some, too..

Those are so cute! Do you use two layers of material when you make them? I made a couple pincushions, used the crushed walnut shells, turned out very cute, but seemed rather thin. I thought maybe I was suppose to layer the material. Any suggestions?
