Give your sewing room a sweet spot to organize your pins with this Tenderness Pincushion! Made using beautiful pink and fuchsia patterns from the Opulent Floral fabric collection by Michael Miller, this fun project takes a different approach to the traditional English Paper Piecing method. Pincushion finishes at approximately 8" at the widest point.
This pincushion, designed by Sharon Burgess for Lilabelle Lane Creations, is the perfect addition to any sewing station and is large enough to hold so many pins! Once filled with ground walnuts or a filling of your choice, it's heavy enough to stay in place.
