Pincushions in my Studio - Day 27 - 31 Day Blog Writing Challenge

Pincushions are one of those items that just multiply at times. Here are some of mine to share with you today (there are a couple more!).

Group photo: 2 top pincushions are from my early sewing days, 

the velvet tomato is very faded! Star pincushion on left I made 

from a pattern and gave several as gifts. Poodle on right is my first 

pincushion I hand sewed it in Brownies, when I was seven.

Pincushion in back is my "Pin Inn" Pincushion, 

which I made for a Pincushion contest. 

Ones in front I made to display my tatting from my 

hand painted threads.

 Fabrics are all hand painted by myself.

I love these pincushions made in China. They are beautiful

 designs. They were purchased either in Chicago,

 San Francisco or New York. The large red one was 

a find at a thrift sale. 

These wrist pincushions aren't quite as 

visually exciting, but very useful.

They do seem to multiply! Sometimes they follow you home, they are fun to design and make, and useful too.

How many do you have? I know I can always find ways to use them, and they are fun to display.

Pincushion Blessings,
