What a great tutorial..I am so impressed. If this is an original idea, you should submit it to a quilting site . The step by step you provide is amazing and leaves no need for questions or confusion. Madeline

I made the pattern myself. I have no source other than sitting and looking at the containers that I repeatedly threw out and wishing I could do something with them besides sending them to the dump! LOL LOL

For this pattern I just sat down and figured out how to do it! I have given them for gifts. And, I have painted several for storing what-nots too! Here is a picture of a painted one. I have a UFO cross stitch in it! (Keeps the threads from being lost!) UFOs everywhere! LOL

How timely your wonderful tut is! I NEED a new pincushion and just finished making one of the mannequin ones that is sooooo ugly.....This one looks so cute and easy that I think even I can make it.

Thanks so much.

I second that! I always hate throwing them away because I knew they would be good for something!!

You ARE THE BEST KastleKitty. My local quilting partner in crime is a pincushion ADDICT. She just may get one of these for Christmas.

Thanks again for ALL your efforts put forth to create such a clear and concise tut! It's GREAT!
