Pincushions

My goody bag from the Mystery Bus Tour had a wee fabric kit in it for a pincushion & instruction to go to All People Quilt website for the instructions. The 1st one I made was the small green one, the pre-cut fabric kit was cut too small for the pattern instruction, cut to 1 1/2"  strips instead of 2". There was still fabric strips left over so I made another & another & still more fabric scraps to  make a small place-mat. The place-mat pattern is one the backs of the small pincushion & the large has my Laura Ashley upholstery fabric, all were filled with crushed walnut shells. It was a fun easy afternoon project.  I used a smaller red rick rack to the red ones, I'm really enjoying the look of this vintage embellishment.
