Comments: I have actually made 3 of those lovely pincushion designs. Have kept one for myself and given two away to friends. This one was given to Rengin and went all the way to Turkey where it found a good home.

These designs are just so elegant, fun to put together in a rather short amount of time too. Karen has kits and also patterns only for those of us who wants to use our own supplies.

You can see Victorian Heart Pincushion here and Triangle Pincushion here. Looking at Karen's other designs makes it very tempting for me to make a few additional ones.

Comments: At the time I purchased three different pincushion kits from Moonspun Designs, kept one for myself and given the other two to friends.

 

They are almost too cute to stick needles into them, so my friends keep them as souvenirs. It is nice to be surrounded by lovely things in our stitching room.

 

This project was quick to do and quite easy to put together.

Comments: When I saw this little heart pincushion, I thought it was the cutest thing ever, so ordered the kit and was pleasantly surprised to see how easy and quick it was to make it. No hunting around to get what you need, everything comes with the kit and very little sewing involved except the actual putting together of the heart. The needles and the threads do the rest.

I keep this one as a lovely decoration only as I like to surround myself with lovely things. I find it good for the soul.
