    I have four handmade ones of my own, but have made many,many more to give away! They are the perfect hostess gift, birthday gift, Christmas gift and just-for-no-reason gift for my sewing AND non-sewing friends and relatives. I try to make one that fits the receivers personality and everybody needs a pretty pincushion! I would love to win the book with even more ideas!

    I have 4 pin cushions which include a vintage “tomato” with the strawberry shaped needle sharp, a primitive counted thread that I made last year and a wrist cushion that works great unless I miss the cushion. But my most prized is a shoe- shaped, heavily beaded pin cushion made by my great,great Grandmother who was famous for her award winning quilts, 2 of which I have inherited.

    I estimate that I have about 50 pincushions because I just can’t resist a cute one, especially one that’s different than any I have, and well to be honest they just make sewing and quilting more fun. I love to sit down with handwork and a cute pincushion. I’d love to have her book to make some for our quilt show and quilty friends.

        My friend Nancy made me a pincushion in 1988. It is the one that has a little thread catcher connected with velcro straps…and holds on to the table with a hidden tile…..She made it after all my kids were in school, and she wanted to entice me back into quilting….she placed a note in it with $20.00. We made a date to go to the quilt shop to go buy some fabric….That’s back when $20.00 would buy a few yards of fabric….Great memory….PINCUSHIONS…smile……….

My friend talked to her on the phone, and she was so pleasant and nice to her. Now my mother buys little knick-knacks at thrift stores to be made into pincushions. I am anxious to try that. I also have PG pincushion patterns and kits waiting…

    I have two in use that I use for different pin types but a number of redundant ones now adopted into other roles, e.g. mushrooms now in my forest Christmas decoration collection, two little birdhouse ones I use to decorate at Easter and my pumpkin for Halloween. My baby shoes (adapted into a pin cushion) will always stay with me on my sewing table though.

      Well, I guess I’ll tell it like it is. I grew up when the only pin cushion around was the (dare I say “unattractive”) red tomato pin cushion. When I saw the lovely, prim sunflower pin cushion on the cover of Kathy’s book it spoke to me…loudly! I would love to make that pin cushion…and I would even use it! You shouldn’t award me the prize because of how many pin cushions I have, but because of how many I don’t have. I have 0 (zero, zip, nada) pin cushions! Because of those old red tomato things, I have put my pins in clear plastic boxes and they are screaming to get out. From a position of lack, not abundance, please consider the plea of my straight pins…they’re keeping me up at night with their mournful cries.

    Do unfinished ones count? I have 16 and about 4 unfinished ones, Can’t get enough, they make the best “Little” projects to sew inbetween those quilt projects. Love, Love, Love PINCUSHIONS! PS I don’t have any like Kathy’s so I would need them in my quilting room.

    Ah, so I’m not the only one with the addiction!?!

    A relatively close shop has a pin cushion of the month offering and everytime I’m in their shop there are two or three that are just too cute and come home with me. I FINALLY made them all this winter….up to 18, they have their own shelf. And I just made it up to there shop a few weeks back and two more I had to have!!!! Smaller than my stash but equally compelling 😉

    I am lucky enough to live in San Diego and have been taking Kathy’s classes for several years, I did the pin keep for many months and have quite a collection, I also did her wool mat of the month, she is a great teacher and a talented person, kind and generous, just like you Lisa. I was also fortunate to take a class from you several years ago, it was when you picked up Jeter and Elvis. I recommend this book.

    –I have about 17, and enough patterns for about 30 more! I have them all over the house and in every sewing bag and basket. Several are grouped together on my treadle machine in the living room. One very treasured one is a knitted cushion that has 5 or 6 gradually enlarged double “rings”. It was in my mom’s knitting basket for years, and I received it when she died . It holds several pointy tools, a thimble, bobbins stacked on a crochet hook , my drafting pencil, sewing machine brush, and, of course, pins. One can never have too many sewing tools or pin cushions! Appreciate all your inspiration!

    One can never have too many pincushions, in my opinion. My husband claims he is a human pincushion, or magnet, as he has picked up several pins/needles with his feet. Ouch! I have plenty of the standard red tomato ones. I have made several-mostly calico chickens, but my favorite, so far, is an antique one my grandmother gave me many years ago from her “variety store” in New Orleans, La, It is a china shoe with a red velvet cushion filled with many rusty pins. Just for show, of course. Reminds me of her everytime I look at it. I would love to have this new pincushion book, so I could add to my collection. I am constantly looking for little odd shaped glass/ceramic items to make unsual pincushions. Thank-you.

    I started making pincushions after seeing all the wonderful ones on the internet. I saw Kathy’s delightful sunflower and wanted to make it. I wrote her to see if she was going to do a book and wala she did. I have a very large collection of pinkeepers and make-do’s, probably close to a hundred. I have one with all my various projects.

    I have an accidental collection of pin cushions that began many years ago with a beautiful porcelain and velvet pin box/cushion from Scotland. I now have about a dozen but my current favorite is a little ball of wool in an acorn shell that I use for tiny applique pins on portable woool projects. My husband told me not to forget his two feet in the count. Why is it whenever a pin hits the floor the only way to find it is to have your husband walk by?
