PPPP

I'm a little late to the party, but Ida  has once again been the generous host of the PPPP (Perfectly Pleasing Pincushion Parade).  I have posted my pincushions in past parades, but my patriotic batch has been completed since then.  

I have a clothesline basket that sits on the coffee table and I change out my pincushions for the different seasons.  The grandchildren prefer to use them as beanbags so they do get a lot of use here.  Since we have passed through Memorial Day and Flag Day already, the red, white and blue will remain through the July 4th holiday.  

One new one was added especially for the parade.  It is a Pinwheel pincushion from the FQS and the tutorial can be found on You Tube.


These are my patriotic pincushions.



Pincushions are such fun and quick little things to make.  Be sure to pop over to Ida's blog and see all of the really gorgeous ones that have been shown this week.

  3. Awe, Mary, those patriotic pincushions are so pretty. And what a good idea to make different pincushions for different seasons or holidays. Thanks for popping in and sharing your pincushions with us.

  6. The pinwheel design is so effective in red white an blue. In fact all your cushions look splendind, its such a strong colour combo. Great idea to change with the seasons - think I might try that. xx

  7. Your patriotic pincushions are adorable. I have yet to make a pincushion! Hopefully this won't get me kicked out of the club. I don't use them, so I don't think to make them, but displaying them like you do would be fun. Maybe it's time to create one or two??

  9. Love your patriotic pin cushions and I love how you decorate with your handiwork! I made 3 of those pinwheel pincushions and each time I failed to contrast the pinwheel to my liking but they are so quick that maybe I'll try again! Thanks for linking up with us again.

  10. How sweet Mary. It looks better than a bowl of candy, plus way more healthier.

  11. That is a sweet collection. Seems like a fun alternative to bed-size quilts all the time! I have patterns and even a bag of crushed walnut shells, but have never made any.
