Over the weekend I created a new pincushion - this one is oversized and just what I wanted...
There's a lovely 'well' in the center which is perfect to store my ORTS as I go along each month. I can sort each of my needle types (loosely) into the sections on the cushion - much easier than having to keep hunting all over my current pincushion. Another bonus is that this one will hold *tons* of needles!
Pattern is from a free tutorial found
HERE and the fabric I used is hand dyed by Vicki Welsh. Vicki was also the one who pointed me to the great tutorial.

The below picture isn't related to pincushions
other than by the tone of colour...
Please do embiggen this picture so you
can see the detail!!
Can you guess where/what it is??
I love the pattern and colors. And that pincushion - I had printed out the tutorial for it awhile back but still haven't made it. You're smarter to just buy it!
ReplyDeleteOOps! I just saw that you actually made it. I'm impressed. I thought it looked like such a fun thing to make. Now that I'm done with my postcard swap maybe I should get busy on one.
ReplyDeleteIs it lichen growing on a headstone? I saw something like it on a recent visit to a cemetery.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that pin cushion great? I love having mine on my cutting table. It looks great in the fabric too!
ReplyDeleteThat is one cool double-duty pin cushion!
ReplyDeleteIs that orange lichen on a rock?
This pincushion is an EXCELLENT idea. I can see that it makes it easy to keep your needles and pins sorted.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a clue what that rust is on...you WILL reveal...won't you?
xx, Carol
rock lichen in your park?
ReplyDeletehmm, love the idea of a pincushion with an inside--but i do love the lovely rusted needlecase you sent me for my needles--goes everywhere with me
Just had to pop in to see what you are up to... I LOVE the pincushion and the dyed fabric you used... I remembered I had this pattern! I am beginning to think I just collect patterns so this is very refreshing to see one comlete:)
ReplyDeleteI just finished my journal that I have been working on forever. It was from Caroles Brugar's class.It was a lot of fun and would love to do another but when is the question:(
I just posted about it..If you have a minute take a peek

Nope, can't guess. Nice pincushion tho, like th eidea of a centre well.
ReplyDeleteVery cool pincushion!!! I may need to make one of these. As for the other pic, I can't guess.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful pincushion, I love the whole concept of having an open middle, and the hand dyed fabric is to dye for *wink, no really, at first look I thought you had been needle felting. Love it !
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a pin cushion!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say hello and hope you are doing well. What a cool pin cushion.
ReplyDeletePerfect! I am forever searching my pin cushion for the right needle. I love this! That fabric is also great. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteEgads!!! I LOVE THAT PINCUSHION!!!
ReplyDeleteI am doing a post on some I have made and I will have to link to this one as it is so great!

Not so ugly. I checked out the pattern and it is very cleverly made!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Janet that it isn't ugly at all......the colors in the fabric almost make it look like stained glass.....and it really is very practical!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic pin cushion idea. Love it..xox
