I got my pumpkin pincushion out that I made last fall. I made it using a free pattern from Sentimental Stitches and it can be found here http://sentimentalstitches.net/free-stuff/pumpkin-pincushion-tutorial/
I figured sewing with a spring flower pincushion after Labor Day would be oh so gauche, can’t have it. The lovely ladies of Bags and Hags might disown me.

It was very easy to make. I used a few leftover scraps from a Moda Hello Fall Charm pack. The Fatquarter shop still has some available http://www.fatquartershop.com/hello-fall-charm-pack I love the Hello Fall line.
The stem is a salvaged scrap of wool from some items I bought at the Goodwill and felted. |
It is stuffed with walnut shells. I get mine from Missouri Star but any crushed walnut shells would work. |
Goodbye Spring Pincushion, for now. I made the flower one with a pattern we received about this time last year at the sewing retreat at Whistlestop http://www.whistlestopquiltretreat.com/ I made one for my favorite mother-in-law too. I need to make her a pumpkin pincushion next.
