This pin cushion came with me from Melbourne, along with a few other sewing/crafty things that I could fit. It's handprinted and handmade, but not by me. I was the lucky recipient of this pin cushion in the Fox's Lane pin cushion swap way back in April 2010. This one was made by Ruth at Little Tree Bird.
This pin cushion has been in use since I received it. In my studio I have a few pin cushions floating around, but I packed just this one. It's a worker, it's small, and it reminds me of home and lovely bloggers.
It has all the usual pins and needles in it. I had to buy some big darning needles to fix the seat of a leather lounge the other day. The set I bought also came with the really neat curved needle you can see at the back. The needle with the blue embroidery thread in it was used just before I took these photographs to mend Little Mister's new backpack ... three days of use and the loop that hangs the bag on the wall had broken. All fixed now.
So there you have it! I hope you join in too and show us your pin cushion ~ visit Vic for everything you need to know.

Oh it's ace! I love a nice big, square pincushion too! If I ever have to make another for somebody, that is exactly what I will be; so, damm, handy.
Thanks for playing Nic... but, did you really have any choice....? ;)
It is a great pincushion, seems like the big square ones are the most popular.
