    OMG, I love the pincushions. I don't have any I have been making some but have been giving them away. But I must make myself the Owl pincushion. He is just adorable. Bridget, who is 5, and I think he is just too cute. I'll add my pattern info for the small ladies bonnet for those who want to make it. Thanks for all the great pictures.

    Default Never too many pincushions!

    Here is the ladies bonnet/hat pincushion I have made for some friends and family; they seem to really enjoy them. I hope you enjoy them as well.

    the sewing machine one was made special for me from a board's member own original pattern. unfortunately there is no pattern to share.

    I just read your note and you said you got 30 needles out of your pincushion, and you replaced it with a bigger tomato -- is that so that you can lose 60 needles in it? Just kidding. Please don't take me seriously.

    You can never have too many I need to make the chicken one. I hope I can soon as I am now making the Maniquine one and they are selling like hot cakes. Love yours.

    Love this thread and seeing all the pretty pincushions. I, also, collect them and no you can't have too many. Like the idea of the basket as I ran out out shelves. You might want to join the Yahoo group, Crazy About Pincushions. We would love to see all your pincushions.

    No, of course we never have too many pin cushions, just like we never have enough fabric.
