I thought I'd join the Perfectly Pleasing Pin Cushion Parade being hosted by My Sister Made Me Do It.
This is one of the first pin cushions I made.
I think it must be about 20 years old now.
I finally finished the green one which had been a ufo
for nearly the same amount of time!
I was on a roll with these ones which I gave away as gifts.
I've made several of these over the years as gifts.
A pin cushion with it's own thread catcher.
This is my favourite one I have made.
The other side.
Over the years I received lots of lovely pin cushions
from friends. This is just a small selection.
A couple of my favourites.
The little rabbit one is from my lovely friend, Melody.
came to visit earlier this year.
But this little turtle will never have a pin stuck into him!
I've made and received many pin cushions over the years. I hope you've enjoyed seeing this small collection. Head over here to see all the other lovely pin cushions on parade.

Beautiful collection Christine.
Love your fabulous collections of pincushions Christine...
The rabbit one Melody made is sweet and I did laugh when you said the Turtle will never have pins in... You can you know....
Hi Christine, So many pincushions!
I especially like the turtle ... and I couldn't put pins in him either!
I like the green pincushion with the cotton reels around the edge .... I have a pattern for something like that .... somewhere! It's on my to do list!

It's so good to see others who share my addiction LOL. The one you made for me is still sitting on my coffee table. I use it all the time. One can never have enough pincushions. I use 2 in the sewing room and have several on display.
What a parade!!! I like all of them, but that TURTLE is melting my heart! I'm so glad you joined the parade, because I plan to visit your lovely blog often, now that I've found it.
Have fallen in love with your turtle, he's the cutest thing. ❤️
What a lovely collection! Sing a happy song is my favourite with the little turtle close behind. xx
These are lovely Christine, what a great collection you have. I really like the turtle one with its pretty colours and the pincushion with a thread catcher looks very useful and I like the colours of the first pincushion you made.
Great collection. My favorites are the hexagon pin cushions.
Hi Christine
What a darling collection of pin cushions! I love that they each have a story & special-ness of their own... the turtle is so cute.
Lovely pics! x
