Great idea, there are a lot of round fruits one could use for pincushions. And when not in use you could put them on display like a fruitarangement.
Thank you for sharing the pattern! I've made one of your snowman before and now want to make a pumpkin for a friend who loves Halloween.
I wish I was as creative as you, I am glad that there are people like you the share your talents
Thanks so much for the tutorial! I happened to have everything but the green felt lying around so I made one ^__^
