Good Neighbors Pincushion Party!!!

I can't begin to say how excited I was when Amanda Jean from Crazy Mom Quilts asked me if I wanted to join in celebrating her first fabric line with Connecting Threads by making a pincushion for a Pincushion Party!!!!  Here's the little secret, I have never made a pincushion before.  I know, crazy right!!   So I was all kinds of excited to knock this first out of the park :)


When this fun little charm pack arrived at my door I was even more excited!!!  It's called Good Neighbors and it is just so incredibly bright and happy, just like Amanda!!!! I couldn't wait to cut into it!!


And I knew right away what kind of design I wanted to do.  Yup, my love of Irish Chains strikes again :)  I figured with all of the Irish Chain quilts hanging out in my sewing room, I might as well have a pincushion to match.   So I chopped up some of the fun bright colored prints and some of the wonderful low volume prints into 1" squares.  Oh, yes, meaning they finish at 1/2" adorable patchwork!!


Sew the squares into rows.   Which made me realize, I want to make a second one that will finish like this.  The long rectangles are kind of fun :)


And then sew the rows into a an adorable 5 1/2" little Single Irish Chain miniature quilt top!!  Isn't it so fun how 121 squares can fit into such a tiny, tiny space ;)


And I totally had to share a picture of the back, because how fun is all of that seam goodness :)


Then it was time to quilt it, stuff it, and close it ;)  I stitched in the ditch with white thread to make each little square pop,  and then used a little rainbow diagonal stitching over the colored prints just to help the design stand out.


And for the back, I used 4 of my favorite prints from Good Neighbors.  I just love how cool these ovals look!!  And you can also see my hand stitching in this shot to close the pin cushion up.  Yup, I am still not a very good hand stitcher ;)


As soon as I finished, my daughter asked if she could put some pins in it.  She promptly stuck a pin in each of the colored squares.  I have a feeling I will be coming down to my sewing room quite frequently to find my pincushion looking like this ;)


I had so much fun making my first pincushion and working with Amanda's first fabric line Good Neighbors!!   She totally knocked it out of the park with these fabulously cheery and happy fabrics!!!
And now it is time for me to put this pin cushion to work :)


You can check out all the pincushion fun by following along with the Good Neighbors Pin Cushion Party!!!  


Here is a list of all the stops that are coming and have gone ;)   Talk about an awesome Pincushion Party and it has been so much fun to be a part of it!!!

  3. I've never made a pincushion. I love this one! Those teeny tiny squares! My sister has made some and puts walnut shells inside to keep the pins clean and give the pincushion weight.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Never made a pincushion because I have several my Mom made and I like using them. I could make one for someone else!

  9. I have cross stitched a biscornu which is a fancy pincushion. I just finished it recently and stuck my first pin in it the other day and felt like I was hurting it. So obviously I need to make a usable pincushion. Lol.😂

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yes I've made pin cushions. A girl can't have to many little cuties around!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I have made three of the pincushions in this series, these have all been so cute! I am going to have a cute little oincushion collection by the time I am finished ♡

  13. Pincushions make good gifts for sewing buddies. I've made a couple in the past for my friends; however, never with squares as small as yours. Thanks for the chance in the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I have never made a pincushion before. I've seen lots of cute ones, but really don't feel the need to make one. I like this cute fabric, though!

    ReplyDelete
  15. So cute! I haven't made one myself, but mostly because I use magnets =) thanks!

  16. I've never made a pincushion before but it is definitely on my "to-do" list.

  21. Wow - you have a lot of patience to be able to sew all of those tiny squares together! I have made one pin cushion which is quite large and I use it all of the time. Thanks!

  22. Nice job! I've never made a pincushion but would like to make one.

    ReplyDelete
  23. What a spectacular first pin cushion!!! I have made several pincushions, given most of them away...but my biggest p.c. Accomplishment has been sweet little cathedral windows pincushions...they would look super with these happy fabrics!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have made pincushions before. They are fun because you can do the entire thing from start to finish pretty quickly - almost instant gratification that you can do in the middle of a longer project!

    ReplyDelete
  25. True confession time ... I've made everything from quilts to wedding dresses to coats, hats, and purses, but I have never made a pincushion. In fact, all my pincushions are [gasp] store bought!! Time to jump and do something about that!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Your pincushion is so cute! I made my first pincushion at the age of 11 when I was in 4-H and I still use that wrist pincushion. Lately I've been making pinky ring pincushions which are just the right size for wearing while machine sewing to stick a few pins in while attending to that seam as we all know we shouldn't put them in our mouth or sew over them. I think I'll make your pincushion too. Probably today. Karen kthurn(at)bektel(dot)com

  27. Thanks for sharing. I love pincushions. They are a great project to practice piecing skills.

  31. Such a cute pincushion you made! I have made pincushions before but none recently. Would love to use Good Neighbors fabric to make one! peks1001(at)yahoo(dot)com

  33. Love your pincushion - yes I have made several and want to make more - love pincushions.

  34. I have made a couple of pin cushions out of wool, which were fun and easy and very much in the "slow down and stitch" mode.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Cute pincushion - no I have not made one.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I have made a pincushion, but it isn't used for holding pins, my grandson wanted it, it was in the shape of a turtle. He loved it.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I have made several pincushions and am currently planning to make more. I like them better than magnetic plates because I think it's easier to grab an upright pin than one lying flat on a plate.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I have never made a pincushion, mainly because I have more than I need that were given to me over the years. My current favorite looks like a little hen and was made by a local guild and included in my registration bag for a mountain quilt show. Yours is lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  39. My friend sent me a pincushion for Christmas. I had been keeping my pins in a box beside my machine. But when I received this one, I loved it so much that I made one to hang on my serger. It is the first and only one I have ever made. Thank you for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yes, patchwork pincushions are so much fun, instant gratification! Love your mini Irish Chain, so cute!

  41. I love your pincushion. I've made a couple pin cushions, they are fun to make.

    ReplyDelete
  42. The pincushion is so sweet - such a cute line of fabric! thank you- I have never made one before but would love to now!

    ReplyDelete
  43. All those tiny squares, wow. I think my machine would eat them. Cute as a button, I can see why your daughter wanted to be the first to play with it. I have not yet made a pincushion, I should put it on my list.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love your pin cushion. Might have to make one like it. I have made a couple pincushions. Over on my blog http://www.crystalscraps.blogspot.com

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yes, I have made a pin cushion, but that was years ago. Yours is adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  46. It's on my to do list. I have two pin cushions that I really love. One made by a great Aunt--it's a crocheted rainbow chair (made with a tuna can I think) and the other is a lady--I don't know where it came from, but they make me smile.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I have made many pincushions! My favorite patterns may be the Strawberries. And birds. They are rather addictive! Your pincushion is totally cute with all of these tiny squares!!
    Susie

    ReplyDelete
  48. I have made one other pincushion. I'm loving yours. I may have to add this to my to do list. Karen

    ReplyDelete
  49. I've never made one before, either. Yours is lovely! Definitely on my to-do list!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I made a pincushion about 35 years ago with a tuna can as a base. It looked like the head of a pioneer lady with a bonnet. then I started thinking how creepy it was to stick pins in her face. LOL. I have not made a pincushion since. There have been cute ones on the sewing blogs. I may need to make one.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hi there mellisa,
    I just love all of those sweet little squares in your pincushion.
    I have made only 1 pincushion-it was a Dresden-style circle, stuffed with fiberfill and I sent it off to a friend in Japan. I really need to start making theses little cutenesses for myself!
    Thanks!

  62. So cute! I've made a couple of pincushions. I usually put non-slip material, think kids footie pj feet bottoms, on the bottom to help keep them in place.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I also LOVE Irish Chain quilts, and your little miniature in pincushion form takes my breath away. I have made a pin cushion -- an apple with a leaf for the needles -- but I might just have to make one like yours, too. sarah@forrussia.org

    ReplyDelete
  79. That is an insane number of wee squares on that pincushion but I mean that in the most flattering of ways. I love that you showed the back of it too. You are a fantastic piecer.

  104. Your pin cushion is so cute and yes, bright looking with this beautiful fabric. I just made my 'first' (& second) pincushion a few months ago :)! I use little wooden dishes, my husband made loooong ago for all my pins. I do love the pincushions for the threads I pre-thread for when I'm ready to bind my quilts though! Thank you for this giveaway chance!

    ReplyDelete
  105. I have made lots of pincushions and hope to make many more. I love making some of mine using Susan Branch illustrations. There is a fun Cathedral Window style Tutorisl out there too. I share lots of my pinnies on my blog Amy Made That! By eamylove.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I have only made 3 pincushions but u find I don't really use them. I have magnetic dishes and prefer to use those! But I love looking at all the pretty ones made by others!! And I'm in LOVE with Good Neighbors!! Beautiful fun and my kind of bright colours!!

    ReplyDelete
  115. I have never made a pincushion before. I still may have to try one soon. Love seeing the ones made in this blog hop. And they are a much smaller project than sewing a quilt!

  117. I have never made a pin cushion. I'm really enjoying watching this pin cushion parade!

    ReplyDelete
  118. I've made a number of pincushion but didn't quilt any of them; love yours with the quilting. The latest was a little 2 1/2" one stuffed with walnut shells, made from a circular pinwheel cut from behind the center of a Dear Jane block (B2). Have to use those pieced scraps!

    ReplyDelete
  119. I've never made a pincushion--but all these pincushions in Amanda Jean's party will definitely put at least one on my to do list :) Love and amazement for your teeny tiny patchwork!

    ReplyDelete
  120. Yes I have made a couple of pincushions, the latest inspired by Amanda Jean's many pincushions I see on her blog. :-) And true to form, I made it with teeny tiny scraps, and I LOVE how it turned out. Yours is so happy! Ha! And I love what your daughter did. :-)

  123. I made one, quick and sweet just as I started quilting about 2 yrs ago.. it got lost when I moved so a new one is on my horizon :)

    ReplyDelete
  124. I have not yet made a pin cushion but I actually do have one on my to-do list. And yours is beautiful, and quite ambitious. I like your idea for the second one too. And I see on the back side of your pin cushion front that all the seams have come together nicely as "good neighbors" should!

    ReplyDelete
  125. I have made some small pincushions before, but I have a new bigger one on my to-sew list.

    ReplyDelete
  126. I made my first pincushion just a couple months ago and LOVED doing it!! It was so satisfying to actually finish a project in a short amount of time! LOL!

  127. I have never made a pincushion. Silly not to have made one before but it hasn't been on my to-do list!

  129. I haven't made a pincushion. I use them quite a bit and I love all the super cute ones on this hop. I might have to dig out some scraps and make one.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Yes. Out of wool felt with all kinds of flowers in one corner. And a few lil bling sparkles on the flowers. I also put some weighted beads (in a little pouch id sewn) inside to weigh it down.

  131. The first time I tried out paper piecing I ended up with a cute little square in a square block that I turned into a pin cushion. Instill use it today & the little red tomato from my 7th grade homemaking class. I feel inspired by all of these cute pincushions & now want to make more.

  135. I haven't made a pin cushion before, but I will be making two in the next two weeks for extras for Instagram swaps. This blog hop for Amanda Jean's fabric has given me some good ideas. I even picked up some lizard litter (like Amanda Jean suggests) today to fill them. Thanks for the chance to win!

  136. I have never made a pincushion before. I probably should, since I don't have a pincushion and my pins live in a Tupperware container.
