Pretty Pincushions

 It's been a while since I've made any pincushions for my Etsy shop, 

but over the years it's something I seem to go back to time and time again.

And with good reasons! They are super fun to make and can be made in so many different ways. 

Do a search of pincushions on Pinterest or Etsy sometime, 

you will be amazed at the variety and creativity! 

(You can see some of my past ones here.)

With my newly found interest in punch needle embroidery, 

it seemed like a great time to make some new pretty pincushions featuring this technique.

As of this post I have made these two and am working on a third. 

They each feature a center flower motif done in punch needle.

The motifs were then stitched onto a wool blend felt base,

and simple traditional embroidery stitches were used around the edges.

The two pincushions shown in this post can be found in my shop here and here.

Hope to be listing more soon.

(Once listed they can be found in my shop's Pincushion Section).
