Pillow Pin Cushion

From Anna Bauersmith's recovery pincushion pattern.

Pillow pincushion...well six little cushions.

I used cotton prints from my stash (this is a good project for using up tiny pieces), with wool roving for the stuffing.  As an experiment, I stuffed one of the cushions with emery for sharpening needles--while it does tend to weigh that side of the pincushion down, the effect is less pronounced than I expected.

Another view.

It's a cute little handful of a pin cushion, and made up very quickly.
