I have finished another set of chicken pin cushions!! They are very cute!! The process of making them used up some scraps and orphaned blocks (4"square or so) along with small orange pieces for the beak, the comb and the tail. Then, came the slow stitching - black beads for eyes and then the stuffing!! I put poly fiber filling in each corner and then filled in the sides some. I added some of my own stuffing - bits of fleece and cotton scraps too small anything else which I cut into tiny pieces - then I added some rice and then another piece of poly fill to keep everything in place while I hand stitched the bottom opening closed to finish off the pincushion. 10 in this batch!! That makes a total of 22!! Therese
