Sue has mentioned a few times that she loves my Clippy Pincushion.
I decided that it was time to make a couple for her and Carrie. I hesitated because the pins have to go into the pincushion almost horizontally in order not to get stuck when you grab the item. I have never figured out a way to prevent that. Of course, I haven’t lined the largest pieces with foam or something either. Maybe I’ll try that.

Even if you just use this pincushion for WonderClips**, it is super useful. I keep one in my travel Hildegarde Notions Trunk.
I originally found the pattern in a magazine. Since then I have seen it in the book, 50 Little Gifts: easy patchwork projects to give or swap**, compiled by Susanne Woods.
