I thought I'd share this little idea..not a new one but I am sure many not know of it...I use golf tees to put the wound bobbin with the color thread that it goes with

the pincushion is glued to the top of the golftee

Wonder how many I can take from son before he notices ?:wink:

Thanks for the tip :thumbup:

Jeanniejo 08-06-2010 10:44 AM

I bought one at a quilt shop a few weeks ago, it had a flower piccn cushion on it. Think it was like $3.99. Comes in handy!

SharonAnne 08-06-2010 10:52 AM

Wow. Those simple ideas are the best. I'm giving that tip a try just as soon as I buy some tees. Thanks.

littlehud 08-06-2010 02:11 PM

I have heard of the golf tee idea but I've never seen one with a cute pin cushion on it. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

StitchinJoy 08-06-2010 02:13 PM

Great idea, Sue. We have no golf tees here so I used straws. Cut the straw in half, glued a button to the top with a dab of nail glue.

clem55 08-06-2010 03:23 PM

Hubby just gave away a huge bag of tees!! Dang, I like that idea!

Ditter43 08-06-2010 03:24 PM

:thumbup: :-D Thanks!!

good idea

sylvia77 08-06-2010 08:55 PM

So those T's come in bags at Walmart? What a cool idea. You can receive 25 dollars if you submit this idea to a quilting magazine. I haven't heard of doing this so they just may like it.

hahaha...I think a search for a golfer would be way more fun than getting a bag of tees from Walmart (sorry, couldn't help myself). Very cute idea. :-D

Sue, Fon & Porter's of Love of Quilting also want people to send in their tips but they don't mention any money so I'd go with APQ.
