I thought it’d be fun to send along a matching pin cushion for my partner to use during the holidays. It’s always nice to add a little more festive to the sewing room, don’t you think? I sewed together some scrap pieces and trimmed it down to 3-1/2” x 6-1/2” and backed it with batting and edge stitched on either side of the seams. Then I cut a scrap for the backing and stitched it all together on the top side, leaving a small opening to stuff it. I stuffed it, finished sewing it together and used pinking shears on the edge. Easy. Now to make one for the next Portland Modern Quilt Guild meeting…

UPDATE: I use poly-fill when stuffing it. And I don’t stuff it too full, because I do want to be able to sew it closed on the sewing machine. I just like to use the batting on the top when I quilt it to give it a more “quilted” feel.
