PRACTICALITY PINCUSHION !!!
Well, I gave it some thought, trying to follow the guidelines. Since I do a little woodworking I started with a base:
Next I created the pincushion from "Freebird by MoMo" for Moda fabrics. I added a sweet little button in the middle...
Now, all you have to do is put the two together! It measures 4" X 4" and is stuffed with "scoopable" kitty litter. I've been making pincushions for a number of years and this is my favorite thing to use for a pincushion. It keeps the needles and pins nice and dry and has a good weight to it...
I hope you all like it. Lynne at Quilts and Cats
What a clever lady you are - woodworking a surround for your pincushion so there are no ouchies coming out the bottom.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
What a cute idea! I love that you used kitty litter.
ReplyDeleteNever thought of using kitty litter. Right now the only litter I have is "used," so I don't think I will fill my pin cusion with it!
ReplyDeleteI like the end result of your work.
Fantastic pin cushion.. its so elegant!! Yes very nice not having the ouchie things poking out at you :)

Love the idea of using a wooden frame...and that little button is the perfect finishing touch. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWell, Ms Lynne ~ this is AWESOME!!! I like all that space for the pins, easier to grab them and find a place to stick them back in. I'm sooo glad someone used the kitty litter idea! lol!! :)
ReplyDeleteI make pincushions too and I use ground walnut shells. LOVE♥ it, you are so right about the pins sticking snug and the weight keeping the pincushion where you put it.

I love this pincushion! Does the litter help the pins to stay sharp?
