Pin Cushions

I made this pin cushion using 28 count Cashel linen in natural color using DMC 931 and Ecru. I zipped up the edges using 931 backstitch and Ecru Biscornu style. I did also iron on some light interfacing so the pins did not get lost in there and added an antique shell button. Next time I think I will use crushed walnut shells.
I had a lot of left over pieces of fabric so I made lots of pin cushions and some shabby chic flowers just in case I need a gift on a whim.
