Pincushion Eye Candy





When you were a kid, did your mom have one of those tomato shaped pincushions? Yeah, mine too.

Well lo and behold how the times have changed! I can not believe the range of pincushions I have seen!

You know my baby's first birthday party is going to be airplanes. So I'm slightly obsessed with them right now. Look at these cuties from etsy!

This beauty from England caught my eye.

Moda is a well-loved designer fabric among all the sewers I know.


This sweet pincushion is from PiccalilliPatchwork.



Last but not least, venture into the animal kingdom! Hedgehogs, squirrels, sheep, rabbits, oh dear!

    Those are the cutest--and most amazing--pincushions I have ever seen! Not only did my mother have a tomato pincushion, but I do too. I need to branch out!

    I have a cute pumpkin pin cushion that doubles as a container for more pins or safety pins. These all are super cute pincushions :)

    What fun for the sewing room! Namolio's pincushions also caught my eye and had me sending off to England for one of my own! I now keep it displayed in my sewing nook so I can enjoy its sweetness every day!

    The pear cushion is so cute! I've just made a new pin cushion, not a patch on these though!

    I love these pin cushions! I have found myself often oohing and aahhing over handmade pincushions of such striking design on etsy. The pears here are my favorite. http://www.soapdelinews.com

    Like a few others here, I still have a tomato. I've been meaning to rectify that for a while. I had seen those pretty crochet cushions on etsy before. Thanks for reminding me of them and for stopping by my blog the other day!
