As a needleworker you can never have enough pincushions, I bet you have them everywhere in your home. So do I. In the past years I made several, for me, for fun or for an exchange. I start showing you some of the ones I made before.
This one is added to the lid of a sewingbox, which I take with me when I attend a needlework related class.
And these are biscornu's, do you know the shape? They are so easy to make and they come in all sizes from very small to rather big. I myself prefer the smaller ones.
And then needlerolls. I think they belong here too, because you use them to keep your needles and pins, so in fact they are pincushions, aren't they?
You also have enlarged pincushions like this one.Well, enough about that, now on to what you came here for, the newly made pincushions! I started with a simple pattern. DH and I love to go to Germany on our vacations and they do have nice quiltshops in Germany. In one of those shops I bought the pattern of a hen. I made four of them.
After that I got the feeling I got closer to my sewing machine. I don't know what it is between us. We are on speaking terms, so to say and only after several hours of being together I slowly get the feeling we might be friends one day ...
So when I got this feeling I had the courage to sew this pincushion. I think it's a nice one, it also holds your threads, so when you are up to do some quilting you can grab this pincushion and everything you need is there.
Thank you for visiting me, also thanks for your patience with me, giving you a history lesson about pincushions LOL

leuke hennetjes en die andere is heel leuk gemaakt en lijkt me ook super handig. Mooie 'oudjes' laat je zien ook.
Wat een koddige kippetjes en het grote speldenkussen vind ik mooi en erg handig!
Groetjes,
Jeanneke.
Jeminee, wat een speldenkussenparade! Prachtig om te zien! :D
Oja, zo'n ronde met de klosjes erin had ik ook nog willen maken. Totaal vergeten. Volgende keer! :D
Thank you for sharing all your lovely pincushions and being part of this blog hop
Super sweet x
They are great - I like the idea of having a pin cushion that holds your threads too. Thanks for sharing.
Je kipjes zijn leuk geworden. Het komt nog wel een keer goed tussen jou en die machine ;) Wat heb jij een schitterende verzameling biscornu's. Ongelofelijk mooi!
Your pincushions are awesome but I am crushing on the round one that stores your thread. We made those in home economics class in high school.. and I wont say how many years ago... I almost made one of them as well. :)
The round one is very pretty, but of course my favourite is the little hen. I just love chickies! Great work and thanks for sharing!
Great blog post about this event. I loved seeing all the pics.
Beautiful work !!!
Wow! What a wondeful collection of pin cushions - embroidery and piecing and all sorts of shapes. I have one of those chickens and I even remember having the circular one that holds spools of thread. Wonder where mine is? I think I got mine over 40 years ago from my mom and now it's gone. Thanks for the reminder to go looking for it.
Mooi!!
Cute...love the little birds

They're all wonderful, but I really love those hens!

Love your pincushions, especially the cross stitched needlerolls. I have stitched over 20 of those and have them displayed in baskets.
Incredible stitchery pin cushions. Love the flock of chickens too! :-)
Your hens are just adorable and the last one is the best. Nicely done.
Such wonderful pincushions! The hens are so cute and the last pincushion is my favorite.
The needlework ones you have done are stunning as are the needle rolls. I have several chicken ones myself but not the wonderful pattern you have used, a little twist there. I love the big fat one with the spools though, if I have to pick a favorite, LOL. Which one is YOUR favorite??
I love the needlework rolls and pillows best!
