Pin cushions

My woodworker neighbour across the street made me the beautiful bases for my new pin cushions. I added the cushy parts to complete the pin cushions. 

I love the way they turned out. I used vintage wool Kimono fabric remnants for these pin cushions. 

The photo below shows how the wooden bases look before I added the cushion parts. Those are such pretty wooden bowls! If I had a wood workshop space and all the tools, I would be making lots of wooden things, too. But before I do that, I should really finish using up my fabric stash.
