Do these need to be our own design or can we use a tutorial or idea from somewhere else?

You may design them or use a pattern, : )

How fun! I love pin cushions. My Grandma had alot of them. She quilted and at one time made dance costumes. Shw would let me play with them when I was growing up. Unfortunately, when she went to a nursing home my aunt took them and sold them.

Thanks for the great memory of Grandma. Maybe I should start my own collection....putting on my watch list for now.

Thanks for sharing. Brought back memories of my Grandmom and great Aunt having lots of pincushions too.

I have a hobby of upcycling knick-knacks (lie old candle holders) into pincushions. Would that kind be all right? Or do you want fabric only?
