That what I thought too!! Thank you!

What a great idea. I have a pincushion exchange coming up at my quilt guild. This would be a great one to make.

These are so adorable. Thanks for sharing....

Carrie...

Five dollars is very reasonable. I would certainly buy one from you!

I am doing great. I am 6 weeks post-op and feeling better everyday. I have lost, since I started this whole journey, more than 100 pounds. It is not the pounds that is so cool to me, it is the inches! I am able to wear clothes from Wally World!! First time in maybe 15 years(?). That was literally a HUGE moment for me. Don't get me wrong...I still have a massive amount of weight to lose but seeing the numbers drop is very rewarding. I have no regrets when it comes to me having had the surgery.

Anyway...I am doing well and sure do think about you and little man often. Big hugs!!

Those are so adorable.

so cute they would make great gifts

Those are so cute! What a great idea!

They are soo cute...thanks for posting... :thumbup:

I love these I have never seen these little ones I made mine out of jam jars and store the extra pins inside best thing I ever made and the easiest ~ no seams :P

Thank you very much!

I am too lazy for that I just got out the hot glue gun and glued the fabric to the bottom of the lid and it seems to be working fine!

Adorable!! :mrgreen:

I would have used the hot glue gun but I wanted a puffy top and for it to be tightly fitted. Everyone has their own way of doing things and that's what makes and keeps things interesting. Atleast for me it does! :-)

You are absolutely right (in my book). The little thing that you tweak may be the very thing that I needed to know to make something work. Bring on the tweaking and the quirking. LOL!

LOL!

Missy

Carrie these make me think of my dad's workbench. He would keep all the nails and stuff in old jars, like baby food or jelly jars. One jar, tucked in the back, was always full of the Hershey's semisweet chocolate chips! These jars would be the perfect size for a little snack jar by the machine, for extra energy.

Is it just batting and fabric attached to the top?

NO NO NO!!! Snacking!!! It's not good for us!! LOL!!

Too cute! Great fabric choices.

What are you stuffing them with?

Thank you! I use batting scraps.

if you don't have upholstery thread, beading thread or even dental floss will work!

Awesome suggestions!! Thank you!

These are TOO CUTE!! thanks for the idea!

Those are just too cute and nice thing is you can put extra pins or buttons or something in the jar!!

cute!

Thank you!

My sister, who is not a quilter, took one of the half pint ones I made to keep paper clips in for her desk at work.

Now that is another great idea! I love the pincushion idea and the paper clips too. I wonder if it was included in the stash needed for a craft fair...how many would you need? Hmmm...

Missy

Missy I have so many of these now. I have 18 of the half pint size and now I have 10 of the 4oz. Jars. the 2 that have the print with the spools on them have been sold already.
I think I developing a pincushion fetish. I don't want to do any quilting, I just want to make pincushions. LOL!!

Alright little man is driving me crazy so I really have to get off here now.
:-).

Good night y'all!!

A pincushion fetish?! Now THAT is funny!!! LOL!!

Missy

Just too adorable! I'm having a hard time finding the mini jars.

they are sooo cute!!

I had only seen the 4oz. jars 1 time and that's when I snatched a case of them up. so far I've only seen them at Walmart.

Your jar pincushions are adorable! I can see why you are additvie to making them. Cute, cute, cute!! I am going to make a few for gifts!
Thanks for the idea!

One of these days I will make myself one. My pincushion is from the 1960s and desperately needs replacing!! :thumbup:

Are these from my tutorial? I love it! You've made more than I have....I need more jars!

Sorry, I just found the tutorial your posted. I have one on my blog also, just in case you want to take a look. It's odd how many of us think alike! Well, maybe not :-)
