Although with everyone else's guess, I think perhaps I'm being too conservative!... lol. Your new pin cushion is so lovely!! When you say you stuff yours with bran, so you mean the plain old oat bran for baking? <br /><br />I've recently started a weekly Stitchery Link Party for all things hand embroidered and I would love to have you come link up your new pincushion to share with my readers.

I love your little blue pincushion! I'm so happy to hear that you didn't wash away in the flooding. I heard about it from another friend who didn't, too. Here, we can go to the office supply store and buy those, called binder rings. I have them in all sizes for thread bobbins, silk ribbon, and other kinds of threads, too. They do stay out of the cracks between the cushions that way! I have a similar kind of problem, and go under every once in a while to find the things I know will be down there!<br />dezertsuz at gmailAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7933496829993844316.post-56874020880373177542015-05-04T04:01:33.350+10:002015-05-04T04:01:33.350+10:00Oh Val, I am guessing 42 needles were hidden in yo...Oh Val, I am guessing 42 needles were hidden in your pin cushion. :)<br /><br />Tammy<br /><br />twillyard@comcast.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7933496829993844316.post-65966691551033749822015-05-04T02:43:53.104+10:002015-05-04T02:43:53.104+10:00Olá Val!
