    Good Neighbors Fabric Pin Cushion Party

    Last Modified: November 6, 2021 by Amy · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 184 Comments

    Pin cushions are one of my favorite projects for using up scraps. Foundation-paper-piecing these adorable Square in a Square blocks help create perfectly accurate points for all of those intersecting squares. Pin cushions make the perfect gift for a fellow quilter or friend who sews.

    Good Neighbors pin cushion party

    I used foundation paper piecing to make these traditional Square in a Square blocks using this template I found on Pinterest. I copied the diagram and resized it to the size I wanted (in this case 4″ x 4″).  

    (Click here for a good introduction to Foundation Paper Piecing.)

    I then filled them with crushed walnut shells from my local pet shop. I love that they give the pin cushion some stability and weight. (My kids saw the receipt after school one day and got their hopes up that I had finally bought a pet. I’m such a lame mom.)

    If you like to read quilting blogs, you may have seen a slew of adorable pincushions over the past month. If you like to read quilting blogs, you have also, no doubt, heard of Amanda Jean aka the wonderful Crazy Mom Quilts.

    Good Neighbors quilting fabric

    I still remember when I discovered blogs in general about 8 years ago. And then I discovered there were quilting blogs and I felt like I’d found a bunch of new best friends! One of my favorites from the very beginning was Crazy Mom Quilts. And that hasn’t changed! Not only am I always inspired by her cheerful, scrappy, happy quilts, but I just love Amanda Jean’s voice. She has a gift for being so real and upbeat and encouraging and funny – she really makes you feel like you’re one of her good friends – and she’s just as genuine in person.

    To celebrate the arrival of her first fabric collection, Amanda Jean has organized a parade of pincushions all made from a Good Neighbors charm pack. Which is so perfect because I have been inspired by Amanda Jean’s cute collection of pincushions forever. I was so excited to finally have the motivation to make some myself. So I didn’t stop at just one.

    Go here to see all of the pincushions in the Good Neighbors party, with links to each one.

    As part of the party, I also have a charm pack of Good Neighbors to give away! Just leave a comment on this post to enter to win. Enjoy!

      Your pincushions look great! Paper piecing is the way to go with all those bitty pieces. When I first went shopping for crushed walnut shells, I discovered that not all pet stores carried them. They were only stocked in a pet store that sold snakes. I actually had to go into the snake room to get them. It makes me shudder just thinking about it. Thankfully I now have a supply that will last me for a good long time!

      I didn’t think I needed any more pibcushions, but Amanda Jean has convinced me I can just forego the fruit bowl for a colorful bowl of them instead! I love these new prints from her at CT, especially that happy turquoise 🙂

I hope I win the charm pack because I just put a book order in (books are 40% off right now at Connecting Threads) and would have to pay separate shipping unless my 2nd order is over $50. Connecting Threads has a great sale going on right now. I shop there often. And, I’m going to take a look at the pincushion blogs. Thank you.
