I have many pincushions in many shapes and forms. Like you, some I made and others were gifts. My favorites are a very small dress form mounted on a metal pedestal; a very small comfy easy chair; and a small bench made from twigs with a cushion I made of wool applique. I love your collection and am so happy you shared it with us. (I agree...this makes great material for another book.)<br />BerthaMaxinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066749369047720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744887380758811454.post-24615892500387813712016-08-10T08:37:39.401-05:002016-08-10T08:37:39.401-05:00You have a nice collection of pin cushions.

You mentioned stuffing some with walnuts shells. Did you know that you can go to the pet store and get a big ol' bag of crushed walnut shells for pretty cheap? I believe I found it in the reptile section. I have enough to last me a life time! Better get busy making more pincushions!The Victorian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771406484767173643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744887380758811454.post-22806607937217194082016-08-09T12:17:59.868-05:002016-08-09T12:17:59.868-05:00Oh my!

I made most of them but a few were gifts. <br /><br />You have a great variety in your collection. Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />CharlotteCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683887584650576564noreply@blogger.com
