You wouldn't suspect it to look at it - pretty colors, nicely shaped. Wonderful Kaffe Fassett fabrics, accented by multicolored batik. Rich colors, solidly sewn.
And not worth a damn. Why? Because I CAN'T SEE THE FRIGGIN' PINS AND NEEDLES!!!!
Look at the picture. Way up at the top is one pin, with a white head. A yellow headed pin just gets lost.
Down in the lower right are 4 needles, one large one and 3 quilting needles. Try looking for a needle in the evening light on this pincushion, all you will find is holes in your hand from getting stuck.
Arrgh.

Oh no! It is hard to see the pins and needles. :( But the pin cushion itself is lovely! A few years ago I switched from traditional all metal pins to longer, thicker pins with the huge color ball on the end. I drop a lot of pins and they are easier to see on the floor. Perhaps these would work better with the pin cushion? It is still pretty and I love the earth tone fabric! :)
