Every quilter/sewer needs a pretty pincushion or two! This one I made to look like a slice of watermelon, seeds and all. :) The pink flesh of the watermelon is felted wool. The green rind is a section from a salvaged chenille bedspread with holes in it that I dyed with green Rit Dye. The tiny white rickrack is a garage find. The black seeds are actually black headed pins. I have some black seed beads that my quilter friend, Diana, gave me to sew on. This will be the finishing touch. I made up my own pattern - see my paper pattern in the picture. I've got two more cut out ready to make up.
