Yes, I ask that question "Can we ever have enough pincushions?". I for one have to say "NO".
I love pincushions and have them all over the house...not as decorations though, I take one with me wherever I am sewing and kinda forget to grab it when I leave the room.

Lemme show you a picture of some of my favorites and then maybe you'll share some of yours..
These brown Thimbleberries ones that looks sorta like a flower Michelle made for a swap and for some reason I use that ALL the time next to my sewing machine and I have a woolfelt log one seen here (yellow log with pink flower)that I use on my cutting table that Robin gave me quite a few years ago. Most of these I just display on shelves in my sewing room.... I won't even count how many I have but I think when I repaint the sewing room I'm going to make more shelves to display them all on.....then maybe I'll count them.
OH, and I'll be getting at least 6 more in September because Liz from our BPF group just had a sign up for a pincushion swap... I'll show you mine when I get around to finishing them and before I mail them off to Liz.
For now, I'm off to Joann's to get more beads to make more pincushions...

Yayyyy for pincushions! Thanks for sharing those great pics of some of your treasures, Peg ;)
Love all the pincushions...I am very boring & only have a couple of ordinary ones...I will go looking for a nice one now I have seen yours!
I don't have a lot of pincushions...have made a few but not any really "fun" ones like the ones you have and make. My favorite pincushion is the one YOU made me....the doughnut!!!
I do admire your dedication to enlarging your pincushion collection! I especially like the Thimbleberries flower. I love pincushions and thought I'd start a collection by making some, and I did make a few; but now I wonder what I'd do with many more of them, so I've slowed down.
With the swap around the corner, I just did the same thing of taking pictures yesterday Peggy. Guess I'll go post them on my blog now that you asked people to share them. :o)
The Homer doughnut is one of my all time favs!
OMG Peg, I love love love all those great pin cushions, and the donut is the best! Whooo hooo you are the queen of pin stickers! Hugs, Reeze
