[...] of the mini-pincushions. I was a little worried the idea might be rejected since I’d already posted a picture of it on my blog. I pitched it anyway and just let them know the [...]

How lucky that i happen to find your site today
I’d be totally lucky if I was to have the orange geometric pincushion (2nd row, 4th in) or the lovely green swirly one. But honestly, they are all beautiful.

oh – how fun! first I like the green puff, middle bottom row. It looks like spring, and after the dump of snow that we got this week – I’m ready for spring. then my eye keeps landing on the pink and brown one in the middle on the top row… how can you pick just one!

I think my favourite is the pinky/orange one on the top row, because I like the material. My second favourite is the orange hexagon one in the middle row: I like the way the pin is in the centre of a hexagon.

The leaves matter as well: I like the botton life in each of teh bottom row pincushions, because they look leaf-like. The chainstitch seems too dominant for my tastes, but might work in another colour. I like the blanket stitch edging as well.

Hope that helps!

I love the limey green one, centre bottom row, and equal second favourites are the first three from right to left of the middle row, although they are all great.

So hard to choose only one…but I’ve got to go with the 3rd row, left, as my first choice. I have that same fabric in my stash and perhaps that’s why I am drawn to it. I also love the stitching on the leaves. The swirl gives it some motion and echoes the leaf print of the fabric. These are too pretty to leave in the sewing room, though. They need to be out in the world, pinned to a jacket or tote bag:)

It’s really hard to choose but! If I were buying a gift, I’d go with the yellow-and-blue number right smack in the middle. But the two that really charm me are the one to the left of yellow & blue — red and blue floral — and the far right of the middle row — rosebuds. I think I’m a bit old-fashioned.

The embroidery on the leaves are what would make me pay more for them or really, even decide to buy them. It’s lovely. Oh man. They’re all wonderful. Picking felt that highlights the fabric colors, the chain stitch on the rosebud one… I just like looking at them!

The smallest one, the runt. Ridiculed by all the bigger mini pincushions. Poor poor pincushion. Acne spots all over its face, with a big shiny one on the tip of its nose. If it had eyes, they’d be behind thick glasses. Poor unloved pimply, blind, runty pincushion. No one else can see your beauty. I do.

Love the first one in the third row…blues and browns. My favorite colors. Your pincushions are beautiful. Simple, but beautiful in it’s simplicity. I’m sure they’ll be a HIT! Thanks for sharing and offering one up for a drawing.
