But I took my time to visit some blogs today and I saw a lot of pincushions. So I decided to show you mine.
The first pincushion was made by me and it always lies in reach.
The second pincushion was a christmas gift of Inge, my friend at the lqs. I always use it when I'm handquilting, because it has enough space for the quilting thread and a small scissor. Originally it was filled with sweets.
The third pincushion combined with a wastebasket for thread and small fabric pieces was a gift of my formerly 'Secret Sister' Angelika. We met through a yahoo-group and I had to sent her a x-mas present. Since then we sent us presents for X-mas and birthdays, our kids birthdays and we email very regulary. I tried to talk her into blogging and hopefully I will be succesful. I will tell you as soon as she has a blog.

I love your pincushion that holds the thread. I need one like that for hand quilting too because I am always losing my thread when it rolls onto the floor. What a great way to keep everything together. Is there any way you could get a pattern and post it? I am sure there are a lot of quilters who would dearly love to try it.
ME again. Looking closer it seems to be a circle with a little pincushion suspended by its corners. Is that right? Maybe I could make one without a pattern. Guess what I will be doing this afternoon????
just found you blog and I wanted to say how much I like that second pin cushion with the space for thread and scissors - very useful

I love the pincushion that holds the thread and scissors!! Do you have a pattern name for that one? It looks like it folds up too.
