That reminds me of a TV commercial, from a few years back, for quilted Charmin (I think) toilet paper. The commercial had cartoon ladies sitting around a huge piece of toilet paper (maybe it was a paper towel ) "knitting" on it with knitting needles!! I had to laugh at all those little cartoon ladies knitting away on something being advertised as quilted. They must have gotten a lot of mail about it because it was only a couple of weeks before all of those little ladies had exchanged their knitting needles for a needle and thread...hahaha!!

That commercial bugged me so badly when it came out. My husband couldn't believe it could bug me that much, but if there was a tv show or movie that had the wrong type sound for a motorcycle he always complained. :lol: :lol: :lol:

My 10 yr old granddaughter calls my pincushion the pinpouch! When she sews, she is always asking me for the pinpouch if I'm using it too. She told me she needs her own pinpouch if she's going to sew! She just finished her first quilt and is entering it in our guild quilt show in 2 weeks. I'm so proud of her.

If you do use walnut shells, please don't sew for people who are allergic to nuts. It could kill them just touching where the pins have touched. :(

I decided to make cheese and the recipes all call for citric acid. My 11 year old daughter remebered her teacher got it from a hobby shop in town a 1/4 of the price I'd have to pay a pharmacy. I told the shop owner why I was buying it and he was totaly lost- It says right on the label- FOOD GRADE CITRIC ACID

Just wanted to mention - if you're making these pin cushions as gifts, you may want to re-consider your choice of filling.

Brushed walnut shells make for an easy and inexpensive filler ***BUT*** they are potentially dangerous to anyone who has or may have an allergy to peanuts.

As walnuts are a member of the NUT FAMILY, there is a potential risk to individuals who must avoid contact with peanuts and other nut family members.

You never know how these individuals may react to walnuts and IMHO, it is better to be safe than sorry.
