Look who I found nestled here in my wool blanket scraps.
Isn't she sweet? I don't think she bites, but her needles are sharp.
I really hate to disturb her. Hope she doesn't mind if I borrow a few of her pins.
Looks like I have a new friend!

Materials used: hand-dyed wool felt from this amazing gal. Pattern found at Urban Debris. More pincushion love here.
Oooooooh let me be the first to say that she is just delicious. Wonderful. I'd be soooo pleased to have friend just like that. You lucky, lucky thing you.

Come check out my new recipe blog and join in on the fun :)Look forward to you becoming a Swapper!

Love your blog. Love Prickles and am making one right away. She is just so cute.
The pattern says to oversew the pieces. Is that the same as overcast?
Thanks from a lurker.

Thank you for the link to the hedge hog pincushion. I have been wanting to make one forever - well for a while at least. I just didn't want to sit and fuss and figure it out myself.
Hopefully there will be hedgehog time tonight!

Oh, I was just today thinking about a similar pattern in a book of mine dating from the 70's or maybe even the 60's, and wondering if I had any fabric on hand that would be appropriate for it. Only, the hedgehog pincushion in that book was made with a tweedy, brown woolen fabric, like you'd find a men's coat made from. This pattern is much cuter, though. I may have to try a tweedy version of it.
Love how yours turned out.
