i’m a 78 yr.old woman who has been sewing since i was about 10…i’m to give a talk at my local quilt guild in april
the subject is the history of pincushions…i just love all of yours…your work is outstanding…i giggled at the comment about not many women are sewing anymore…
not true…did you know there are over 20,000,000 quilters in the u.s. alone…believe me we’re still sewing everyday…and loving every minute of it..hugs, lorraine

[...] pinned the strips together and started sewing them together one at a time. I got to use my little strawberry pincushion that I made a couple months ago. It helped me to at least look like I knew what I was [...]

Oh, how cute! I don’t think I’d be able to use them, though. I love the round ones with the embroidery, but I could easily be convinced to gather a whole fruit basket of pin cushions.

They are all adorable. I’m stuck on embroidery right now. Loving little hoops filled with buttons and stuff!

Hi Kim,
Thank you so much for sharing all of your wonderful Etsy finds. These pincushions are beautiful! I always love reading your blog and seeing what you have to share. I don’t even know where to begin on Etsy! There are so many stores! I appreciate all of your research!
Blessings,

Love those little strawberry cushions. I have a few of the old tomato ones that I still use every now and then. Interesting about their history. I especially like how whimsical they have become.

Oh my goodness! I LOVE these. They are so gorgeous and colourful! I’d buy a bunch just to have them and display them in various places – forget the pins!

The strawberries look great inside the glass…. and that pear… I WANT one.

I see I have a new Etsian to add to my favourites!

Thanks for showing them to us!

Linda.
