Cute As A Button

I think every quilter loves a new pincushion!   I have to say that my sewing room has lots of them, but I still can’t always find a pin when I need one, so I had to

design two more.

 

Introducing … Cute As A Button!  This pincushion comes in two sizes: a small 6" square and a larger 8" square.  Both are 2 1/2" high.  I can't wait to start using the larger one on my cutting table. It’s perfect to hold a lot of pins!

 

The covered buttons are easy to make.  Most fabric shops carry small kits to make covered buttons, but I share a simple technique in the pattern for making fabric-covered buttons without a kit.
