I am a professional web and graphic designer living in Middletown, Ohio. In addition to crafting pincushions, I have a love for researching medieval beadwork and clothing design.

Eight of my pincushions were featured in the book Pretty Little Pincushions (Lark Books, 2007), and are seen on its cover.

I sell my work on Etsy, and as a result am quite busying with my little side business making sewing tables across the world a cheerier place.

Re: How to Make Pretty Pincushions

Thanks everyone!

They are addictive, I started three years ago making pincushions for little gifts and Now I'm doing it about 20 hours a week, eeee!

They are kinda like Lay's Chips, you can't make just one!
