It’s Pin cushion time!!
Thanks to Mdm Samm and Kristen for organizing this….
When I saw the sign ups for this I jumped right on it.
I LOVE pin cushions
and if you know me and follow my blog you know that I love this particular pin cushion…. The OWL pin cushion.
I’ve made a ton of them over the years.
But it was time for me to make myself a new one 
He/She doesn’t have a name yet, what should it be?
(isn’t it funny how the fabric has the owls on it and right by the beak, it made it look like a funky angry owl!? oh well)
-this was the fabric that was given to me from my secret quilty sister btw.
This little guy/girl won’t be lonely though, he already has a family!
The orange one was the first owl pin cushion I ever made, I did needle turn applique back then. The pattern is from Fons and Porter Dec 2010 btw.
The 3 other owl pin cushions and their house was from a pin cushion swap I hosted last year, which I MIGHT start again, if anyone is interested let me know, I’ll post about it in a few days.
Now the owls are not the ONLY pin cushions I have, I’ve collected and made quite a few, it may look like a big mess here, but they are just mixed around on the shelf.
Now I had originally planned THIS pin cushion for the hop, but then decided this week to ALSO make an owl.
This was a “test” I embroidered on my new machine and used EQ Stitch to design it, actually my HUSBAND designed it, I think the cross was a font from dafont. I embroidered the piece a while ago and hung it up then decided to turn it into a pin cushion this week, I filled it with crushed walnut shells so it’s more like a bean bag, hackie sack…. still cute cool.
Of course my little inspector had to check it out too
This month I also made another pin cushion that I sent to a friend but it got LOST in the mail….. GRR I posted about it yesterday
I hand embroidered a grape cluster and turned it into a pin cushion.
Let me see how many owl pin cushion pictures I can find on my computer 
These are from 2012
Some of my beginner ones. (Not 2012)
Now 2011
And 2010
These are the first 4, I kept the orange and gave the other 3 to quilty neighbors
That’s a lot of owls. Let me count them….
49!!!! hmm I need to make #50 don’t you think??
Here’s the list for today, hop around and see some more fun pin cushions!

You make a lot of owls! I like them!Have a good day.
Cute! All of them! Miss Little Inspector is precious.Cheers,Jeanneke.
Oh my goodness! What a congregation of owls!!
My goodness girl!!! I'd say you are definitely the "owl" queen! That's a lot of owls!!!! They are really sew darn cute though, I can't blame you for making them one right after the other, like eating candy :*)
What cute owls!
They look amazing all together! But I bet you still loose pins…. I have loads of pincushions too, but most of my pins still end up hanging from my trousers or (worse still) in my feet! Thank you for sharing your collection. I loved it.
Lovely owls (and a lot!) But I like your other pincushions as well.
I love all your owls (a parliament??) and I can't believe you've made 49!!Thanks for sharing!
Love your wonderful owls! Yes, make number 50!
Haha, he's an angry little kangaroo owl!!! That is too funny. Great job on all of them!
Wow! That's a whole village of owls you have there! So cute. If I was a psychiatrist I would declare you have some sort of personality disorder – an owl fixation (just kidding). Loved seeing all of them. Thanks for sharing!
Girl… I think you win! That is an arsenal of owls!
Big Fun, Bea, you made a whole communitie of owls and sent them into the world! They are lovely! I love all your pin cushions, they are an item collectible worthy. Thanks for sharing!
That's a lot of owls, but of course you should make number 50. Too bad about the cluster of grapes going missing. It was gorgeous!
That is fantastic.
I love your owls!
Love all the owls and your fabric choices. Thanks for sharing.
Whoooooo would make so many owls….well you win for the most owls for sure…very cool!
LOL…I can't pick a favorite…love them all
What cute pincushions!
Owl be darn! 50 makes a flock of em. Love owls!!!
That is a lot of owls!! I am sure that Sonja thinks of them as plush toys.
The owls are adorable. I think you need to make just one more so you have 50! Nice to see everyone in the family enjoys the sewing/quilting!
I am giggling…that is a big flock of owls! Good for you!!! They are really cute – each in its own style!
Love all your owls and those grapes look fabulous!
wow – you really love owls then! They are very cute.
Wow…you certainly have made lots of pincushions! Your "funky angry owl" is just too cute!
Super cute owls, and I'm the lucky owner of one of them. Actually showed it in a picture on my day in this bloghop yesterday. Pincushions are just the cutest things in the world, and I hope to be in your swap later. Greetings from Turid
Owls everywhere and they are just adorable!
You are definitely the queen of Owl pincushions…and they are all lovely! 🙂 It is too bad your gift pincushion got lost (hopefully it will be found and sent to its rightful owner!)
Your owls are sew cute!
Owls everywhere! I love owls… so cute. I see the first owl as holding a baby owl in a pocket. It wasn't until you said that about the beak and fabric that I looked at it another way. Thanks for the owl parade!
now these are a hoot for sure.I love the ones where they are looking up as to say "who me????"thanks for sharing the flock with us todayin stitches
Who wee you have a lot of owls! They are all darling!
They are too cute! You should make a bunch to sell at fairs 🙂
They are beautiful! Question: could I borrow your pincushion inspector for the day? I have no girls at home except for my cat Sapphire!!!
You are a HOOT !! So very cute and fun! One can never have too many cute pincushions or give too many away , right?!Susie

All your owls are adorable! How awful that the pin cushion you made as a gift was lost in the mail! Great job!
The owls are adorable…I would definitely make #50…how many people can say they made 50 owl PC !!?? LOL
One can never have too many pincushions. Owls are so addictive and cute. Love your husband's design…not everyone is into frilly. Great hop…

Owls are so cute and yours are wonderful. Especially when you made so many of them.
What a great group of owls! What a hoot! lol Nice work.
Cute owls.
What a hoot! Your owls are the cutest things. As for the unnamed owl, I think it should be something like Tattoo. With a beak like his I think it would be a perfect name. Yes, you definitely need to make the 50th one. Thanks for sharing.
I might just have to make an owl pin cushion myself! You've got a lot of really cute ones!
Such cute owls! I love'em also. Thanks for sharing all of your owls with us.

You've been turned into an honorary owl yourself and I am honored myself to be the proud owner of one of your creations. I think of you each time I look at it.
So fun to see your owl collection!
That is a lot of owls but they are so darned cute. What fun you must have making them and giving them their own personality!
Your array of pin cushions is amazing. Of course, your inspector has to check them all out – you know see if they pass and if there are any defects – lol. They are all amazing. Owls have been and are still all the rage. I love them all. I really like the cross pin cushion and the embroidered one is absolutely gorgeous. You do beautiful work. Thanks for participating in the hop. You are a great inspiration to us.
