My tomato pincushion has disappeared. It is probably under something on my sewing table. I try to keep one pincushion on the ironing baord, one by the sewing machine, one on the cutting table, and one by the chair where I do my hand stitching.

fabulous collection of pinkeeps - it certainly puts mine to shame! I love that beaded edging!
Thx for sharing your collection --- and, I also have a few that actually have PINS in them! The others are just to decorate my desk : )
Oooh! I love your collection...especially the last three.
Oh my gosh! So many pincushions! Thanks for sharing - great photos!
A Halloween pincushion, what fun! Your embroidered treasures are inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Laura, all look so cute! I like the cup and made cross stitch, look fine, well finished. I love that technique, I have not practiced yet, but I acknowledge it looks very delicate, Greetings, Rose M.
Delightful collection! I have them spread all over, too, but none are as pretty as yours!
Those are really pretty. It has been so much fun seeing all the handwork on them.
What a delightful collection of pincushions. Lovely.
Laura you have a talent for making beautiful pincushions! I like your idea of keeping on at every work area... don't know why that never dawned on me before, LOL.
Oh my... you do have so many beautiful pincushions!
