Lori Kennedy of The Inbox Jaunt prefers a pillow shape to the typical strawberry pin cushion most of us have in our sewing space. For quilters, it makes perfect sense to use something with a larger surface area. Particularly when we hand quilt with multiple colors; we need a place to park sharp objects. If you’ve ever had a family member step on a stray needle, you understand the importance of keeping up with them. This pattern will allow you to do it.
