8 mini pincushions


I found a book called Pin Pals by Carrie Nelson and had to have it!  
It has patterns for 40 mini pincushions and they are adorable!  I thought I would share my progress as I make 8 as decorations for my sewing room.


        





I decided to use Civil War theme fabrics on the first one. It went together quickly and I'm happy with it!










The second one took 4 hours to sew all the tiny half square triangles.  Each was 1-1/4 inch!  





Filling for all the pincushions is crushed walnut shells.  TIP:  Buy walnut lizard or bird litter at the pet store instead of the walnut shells sold at fabric stores.  It's much cheaper that way!  This 5 lb. bag was only $8.00!
