Love Making Pincushions

 I didn't understand why anyone would make pincushions .... until I stated making them myself.

I had many little samples from projects and other things that made perfect pincushions. 

A great way to make something from almost nothing.

I found having a variety of pincushions allowed me to keep different types of pins I use separated.

I also allows me to have pincushions in various places I sew.

These 2 large pincushions were made from sample pieces to try designs for my slashed coat.

I had always stuck pins all over my design wall.

I now have one at each end of the design wall and pins are within reach.

I stuff all my pincushions with wool batting left over from my quilts.
