This morning, I made this set of pincushions using a pattern in the December 2007 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. Stacked up like this, they remind me a bit of the holiday puddings I saw the Christmas I lived in Scotland, right down to the button cherry on top!
The designer of the pattern, called "Petal Pincusion Stacks," is Roseann Meehan Kermes.
