Recently, two of the guilds I attend had pincushion exchanges. I think everyone should have a basketful of pincushions in their sewing room. Man, there are some adorable pincushions out there! And now my personal stash of pincushions has grown since I took the photo...they keep multiplying...

Show me your pincushions! What's your favorite?

I have too many to keep out anymore. I think I'll find a basket to keep them all in!

One is too many for me I'm afraid. :( My cats think pincushions are cat toys and that makes them just too dangerous for me to risk using. I have a couple, but can't keep pins in them at all.

I have no pincushions - I use a magentic thingy which lets me pick up pins fast from table or floor.

Plus, I agree - it would just become a cat toy.

Although hmm those sure are cute.

I'm with you. I don't think you can have too many pincushions. What a great collection you have. :)

( Although I have to admit to keeping them away from the dog. He would love to get his choppers on one of the felted wool kind.)
