We can’t get enough of pincushion patterns, can you? Not only do pincushions serve an essential purpose during the sewing and quilting process, but they’re generally quick and easy to make. And while it’s true that we may have pincushions on the brain at the moment because of the Kwik Precious Pincushions project featured in our 2019 Quilter’s Planner, pincushions are always on our favorites list.
Why do we love pincushions?
- Pincushions are perfect when you don’t have much free time, but you’re itching to create.
- Need a handmade and useful gift for a fellow quilter or sewist? Pincushions to the rescue!
- Pincushions are a fun way to use up scraps and little pieces of fabric we can’t let go of.
- For collectors, pincushions don’t take up very much room relative to other collectibles.
- There are so many types and styles of pincushions to make and enjoy. The sky’s the limit!
