Pincushion caddy


 I made this pincushion caddy for a friend who is addicted to sewing and loves Anna Maria Horner fabric.  It is the perfect pincushion for a hand sewer who needs a portable pincushion/tool organizer.
 I have Anna Maria Horner's book, Seams to Me, and have been wanting to make this pincushion for some time.  If you buy the book and decide to make the pincushion, I recommend following Texas Freckles' instructions, as there are misprints in the book.  (I have learned to do my research on Flickr before following new patterns!)
The pincushion was really tricky to make, but I will definitely make it again because I love the finished result.

We have been enjoying lots of sunshine and I have been nesting like crazy.  We are counting down the days until this little one is expected to arrive...

This is lovely. What a great present! Much better than the blobby doughnut pincushion I made for a friend recently....
