At last I've completed the final three Ice Cream Sundae pincushions! It took some time, but they will be going to their new homes soon. Making these cute sewing tools began with one I made as a donation for our guild's quilt show. You can see that one in this post.
With just fabric scraps, embroidery floss, beads, fiber-fil, and an ice cream dish the pincushions are a fairly simple project to stitch. I'll be happy to send them on their way and put away the supplies at last. They've been "watching" me from the beading corner of the sewing room, waiting for completion.
A handful of glass marbles add some sparkle in the dish and a bit of weight to keep the pincushion balanced. They are actually quite fun to make as I always enjoy picking out fabric scraps and matching beads. You can see the other two in this post.

Adorable and creative pin cushions…..you must have had such fun creating them. Anxious to see your ‘forest’ project.
yummy and adorable, a dessert of color and no calories!!i love the marbles on the base for weight and color. once i found an abannded dry fish bowl, one with lottsa cat eyes and a few purires at the bottom so i took them home . now they reside in the bottom of vase of tropical cut flowers in place of a frog.
having not lost my marbles completely, i have found a use for those that remain....
Nice to see these final pin cushions, Nancy. I love the blue and green one, but they are all beautiful. I;m sure the recipients are going to love them, too.
