Way cute idea!!! I think I would also either glue earth magnets under the edge of the plate or saucer for needles or use two different colors of material on the top and use one color for pins and the other for needles.
I have a tablespoon I use as a pin cushion. Feels like really stuffed batting covered with material that is glued to the spoon bowl. The back of the spoon is covered with a little crocheted doily that extends beyond the bowl to make a little lacy-looking trim. It is embellished with pearls and ribbon. I keep it on my LA for my needles I use to bury my knots. It's at home in WA right now, otherwise I'd post a picture!

I am going to make another one and will try different filling materials to see how they work. I did not know that poly stuffing dulls the pin points until I read it here on the Quilt Board.

I am in the process of making pin cushions in cute cups and saucers(glued to cup). Also a very small teapot, Aladdin style, the lid will be discarded. I also made one for myself in a little crystal round dish with feet. The gravy dish is beautiful.

Next year I will be our "Chapter Chair" and I am already looking for my end of year gifts for my officers because I want to gift them something I've made for each of them. I know these pincushions will be there! Thanks for the idea. I just luv this board...Hugs and smiles to all...
