Eight Pointed Civil War "Buckshot" Pin Cushion
2 Attachment(s)
I found the pattern here: http://www.marcusfabrics.com/images/...pincushion.pdf several months ago and I think I have seen a link on this board as well. I fell in love the the shape, it reminds me of an octopus. I made mine in civil war reproduction fabric with emery sand to fill the pieces. I made pouches cut a little smaller for the emery and slipped those in the main fabric pieces. The emery sand does settle to the bottom, but it is really heavy. I did a lot of hand sewing on this.

Cutie pin cushion. Where do you get your emery?
|
You did a great job on it. I have one made by a board member, and I just love mine. She even put a special button on the top from a uniform in her family.

That is too cute.
|
nicely done

very nice job!!!
|
Very nice and an unusual shape. I could see this in Christmas fabric and would look like a poinsettia.

I use the one I made for putting my open safety pins in so that they are easier to take in and out when basting a quilt. Nice job
