Three Pin Cushions and a Needlebook


Today I'm posting about some tools of the trade. This pillow pincushion was made from two leftover quilt blocks from a quilt my mother made. I just sewed them together to make a little pillow with a bit of vintage rick rack in between and an odd vintage button to finish it off and whalah! A pin cushion for my quilting pins. 


For this chicken pin cushion I watched several different online tutorials - there are many for this particular style. Then I picked my favorite methods, combined them and came up with this. I love how silly it is! I put my applique pins in it. 


This needle book is my own design. I knew I wanted a big one because I have so many pins and I wanted it to be simple too.

This mouse pincushion was a free pattern I found online. It turned out to be a bit of a mess, but it still has personality. I put my regular sewing pins in it and everything stays organized.
