Pattern for the sheep pincushion is on the Connecting Threads website. It calls for regular cotton, but I used the lining from a child's jacket for that fuzzy look. I think they came out so cute...I'll be making more...that jacket had lots of lining!! :-)

She is very creative and talented! There is also a pic of fancy pins made with beads and long fabric pins - we will put some of these in the pincushions for display and to sell with the pincushions.

Love everything!!!! I have what I'm sure is a silly question, but I'm going to ask it anyway! Those fancy pins are terrific, but I'm wondering how you keep the beads from sliding down -- glue? :?
