I put a circle of Stitch and Shape in the base of it (rolled it and poked it through the hole after turning the pin cushion the right way.) It gives a bit flatter base which I was wanting. I also used the bear stuffing beans inside(in a piece of stocking) and then pin cushion wadding around the beans.
1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March. I blogged about this on my blog thinking maybe one or 2 others may join us and lots of girls indicated an interest so I decided to start this blog where we can all encourage each other to meet the goals set along the way....March 2010 -March 2011...........

I've finished too.
It seems like a few of us have finished or blogged about our March finish, this weekend. This is such a cute pin cushion. I may just make another one, but maybe not this month.
I put a circle of Stitch and Shape in the base of it (rolled it and poked it through the hole after turning the pin cushion the right way.) It gives a bit flatter base which I was wanting. I also used the bear stuffing beans inside(in a piece of stocking) and then pin cushion wadding around the beans.
