This is another one of those projects that's been in the back of my mind for a while. I have about four pincushions to hold all of my pins and I've been wanting to consolidate into one ginormo pincushion, but I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted to make it.
I'm loving the colors here - this was made all from fabrics I had on hand. I didn't realize I had so many teals and reds.
I think the endeavor was fairly successful and I'll probably make a slightly smaller, but still fairly large version (this one is 6.5" in diameter) for my next shop update.
And we're off for the holiday weekend tomorrow morning - I'm taking my camera and computer so I might pop in for a post. If not, I hope you all have a great weekend!
Gorgeous! The color combination is to die for!

It's lovely. I love the flower and button detail, just everything. What do you stuff them with? Anything special or just regular stuffing?

Isn't so great to finally make something that you've been thinking about for a while and it turn out so well? The pins even match the cushion! Fabulous!

Gorgeous. I'm also curious about what you stuffed it with. I need a new pin cushion because there are pins all over my house (alarming) and a pretty plate-sized pin cushion might be an incentive to keep organized. Lovely project.

what a gorgeous pin cushion! Your colour choices are lovely - teal and red are a very refreshing yet peaceful combination. And the linen band is lovely. What a lovely blog you have created - I'm glad to have found it and have added it to my news reader! :-)
