Pin It Blog Hop

Pin cushions are one of those things that, for those who sew, are a required piece of equipment.  Not that I didn't spent many many years trying to prove that I "didn't need no pins"!   LOL!!  But like many before me, I succumbed to common sense. Not soon enough for my best friends mom, who was a seamstress. I remember her breaking out in a cold sweat just watching me sew!  She has passed now, so I will never know, but I can't help but wonder why she never said too much to me. You know what had to be going thru her head!

So thanks to "that" bit of common sense that took over, and the Kompletely Kookie Kristen for hosting this fun blog hop. If ya gotta have the tool, it should be just about as much fun as you can make it right???   LOL!!  Hat's off, or should I say "straight pin salute" to Madame Samm for leading the charge with her fabulous blog hop ideas...  We are gonna have the "best-est" pin cushions out there!  :-)

In Alaska last month, I saw a really fun pin cushion, in one of the quilt shops I visited... hummm      I had actually started a project at home, and it would make a great addition. Best yet, there was that blog hop I had signed up for!!!

 Remember the It's a Wrap, it's a bowl folks?

What a fun way to made a pin cushion.

It's really nothing more than 2 bowls glued together!

 

 

 

 While I was busy "wrapping", I thought another bowl might be appropriate.

 

              After all, one can never have enough places to keep supplies!

Now there was just enough fabric for one more project. It could be a bread basket... or just a fun little wall hanging with a little "moosie" sign on it!
                 Oh yea, the moosie won out in this house!   :-)

Regardless, it completed the on-som!

:-)

 Here are a few photos of pin cushions I have made and collected over the years.
 I love finding new ones and I see many more coming into my collection with what I have seen in this hop so far!
                                                        :-)

 

Surely there must be a "moose" in there somewhere...

Of course there is!

:-)

                  Now lets get to the point!  Give a way time!  (get it)  LOL!!

I'm not monkeying around.

:-)

Leave me a comment telling me about a time when you really should have used pins,  and I will pick one lucky winner on Saturday Sept 17th

the last day of our hop.
