I never used to bother with pincushions I just dropped the pins back into the tray they were in until my friend opened her quilt shop and she has the cutest pincushions ever and since I want her to stay in business I buy something every time I visit and since the pincushions are so cute and affordable I have bought several. Now, I'm addicted and have them everywhere! I do use them but I also love them just because they are cute.
