| On this and the linked pages we will try to offer our 30 years or so of stitching experience. We are starting small but will continue to add hints and ideas.
Please send us your own tips via e-mail. Be sure to let us know if it is alright to give you credit for the tip, such as "This hint from Alice Blue, Fenderson, Montana."
Not everyone will agree with all the tips and hints. For example, there is quite a bit of controversy around washing and blocking. Perhaps this can be a forum for thoughts on this and other areas of interest.
Happy Stitching! |

Pretty Little Pincushions From ultra-feminine and vintage chic to whimsically colorful and downright oddball, these pincushions redefine the form. And that's sure to attract the many creative sewers and crafters who have chosen these small, charming canvases as the perfect vehicle to showcase fabulous fabric, simple embellishments, and novel ideas. Nearly 30 projects from a pool of talented designers provide plenty of inspiration, and there's information on materials and adornments, stuffing options, and what makes a successful, functional pincushion. All that's needed are beginning hand-sewing skills to stitch up such unique creations as tiny flowerpot and ladybug pincushions made from a bottle-cap base; a beehive complete with honey bee-topped pins; a selection of heirloom pincushions with vintage trim, lace, and buttons; or elegant silk fruit suited to a centerpiece as much as a sewing basket. Still others, like a tropical fish, a pair of cacti, or a crazy striped rooster, can double as plushy toys without the pins.
