pins and needles


I am crazy about mini things, I have mini bears, mini quilts, mini punch needle and now these.
My min pin cushion collection I created using felted wool bits, embroidery thread , buttons and the bases are from plastic water bottles/vitamin water. They are stuffed with soft cotton and all hand sewn. I cut a circle for the bottom then a band that goes around the middle and the top was another circle. My husband complains that I am hoarding our garbage now since I started my mixed media voyage. Right now I am keeping several wrappers from gourmet chocolates to see what I can do with them next! I think these are great gifts for those sewing friends you may have.

  1. Hi Miriam! So glad you stopped by my blog! I appreciate your comments so much! I wasn't sure if I should take the plunge and make a change to my background, but now I'm getting used to seeing it every time I open my blog, and am really glad I did it.

    Love these little pin cushions! They're truly darling holiday gifts for the crafters in our lives...and a great way to use up some of those small scraps of fabric we have laying around our studios!
