Wild Flower Pincushion [BHG.com] - Tipnut.comToday’s feature is from Better Homes & Gardens with Wild Flower Pincushion (this one’s a keeper!):

Choose a mix of your favorite fabrics, pile on the petals, and watch your garden grow — dozens of fanciful pincushions could sprout up over a weekend.

1/8 yard orange floral (petals)
6″ square magenta polka dot (center)
6″ square heavy interfacing

Great project for fabric scraps! Please visit the site above for pattern details.

I’ve added this to the Free Pincushion Pattern List. See also Scrap Happy and Scrap Happy Update for more fabric scrap projects.

    I made this pincushion months ago and absolutely love it. It holds tons of pins and I put my handsewing needles on some of the petals. Everyone that see it comments on how they like it. I used a scrap of satin fabric that has butterflys embroidered on it. I just centered one of the butterflys and used this as the center circle. Now it looks like my flower has a butterfly sitting on it feeding.
