One morning over the weekend, I just felt the need to be creative. It didn’t have to be anything major, but I just needed to get the creative juices flowing.
I had some pin toppers I bought a while back for my daughter off of etsy. The seller’s name is GigiMinor. They come on these great little cards with delightful names, all packaged up nicely. I decided they’d make an even cuter gift if they were on an adorable pin cushion, so I set to work.
Started cutting and sewing, pulling pinks and reds from my scrap bag, and came up with this, before trimming:
Auditioned a few backings and decided on this one.
Sewed it all together, stuffed it and added the pin toppers. I think it’s kind of cute!
It does look like a Valentine, but I can get away with that because I was born on February 14. I have a thing for Valentines.
I just love these pin toppers. I want them all! Silly little pretty things! I guess quilters in general like this kind of doodad.
Yep Gigi is amazing! I am a member of her Pin topper of the Month Club…
Adorable Diane! Now I’m off on a search for these pin toppers. Did you offer a link anywhere?
I’ve been collecting adorable handmade pincushions from Etsy (my newest vice).
Well, duh! All I had to do was click on the words Pin Toppers in your post and there was my link. Next time, I’ll look closer.
This is so cute! I need some of these pins too!
I recently got some pin toppers from another blogger friend of mine and wondered what I would do with them…now I know! Thank you for sharing!!
Love the pins! I now have that etsy-ier saved in my favs!
