Bonsai Pin Cushion


Now...I don't know about you, but my gorgeous boyfriend and son are forever stepping on pins that have rolled off the table and onto the floor.  My INTENTIONS are good but those sharp little suckers always end up EVERYWHERE!  BUT...Look that this! Isn't it amazing?
Laupre has provided this simple but elegant tutorial.
A bonsai pot, a fat quarter and thread is all you need to create this beautiful pin cushion.  I'm going to make a BIG one.   But yours can be any size you want.  Just trace the dimensions of the planter you are going to use (remembering seam allowances!)  Tutorial here.  Happy Stitching!
