Remember this......
It was about time it got finished so I added a strip around the edge and used some of my yo yos that I had stashed.
I didn't realise how big this pincushion would be when I first made the base. It is a little big but I don't mind it just makes sure it is noticed. It could almost be a door stop!
I worked on my swap goodies and I am happy to say they are almost done. Just one more gift to make.
Sunday night I found a use for a hexie flower I made. One of the glass vintage buttons has found a home on this pin cushion. It fits perfectly.
I think I may be getting a bit of a collection of pincushions....
These are pincushions I have received in swaps and as gifts, and some I just made for myself. I just love them all. The one with all the pins is extra special because one of my boys made it for me when I was sewing one day and he wanted to make something too.
Most of them live in a basket on my sewing trolley.
Off to do some quilting... finishing off a UFO.
Happy crafting!

That pincushion looks fabulous Marina. One advantage to it being big, is that it might be harder to lose! Mine always seem to sprout legs and 'wander off'.
ReplyDeleteLovely collection you are building up there.
That sure is a lovely collection that you have there.
ReplyDeleteLove those two new ones you have made. Your felt pincushion looks fabulous.
Lots to make you smile when you sew.
Your pincushions - wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSuch a work, especially on the one with the pony and yo yos . it looks so.
Best wishes from Denmark

I love the yo yo finish.... too lovely. they are big done like that... I quite like have a giant pincushion but I need to work out a way to stop the pins going all the way down which makes it a pain to pick out..... and I love your new hexie pincushion... what a great idea.... quite a pincushion collection happening there
