The Porcupine Series © by Jean

They stick tight to your pillow without using a central pin.
"These are a good idea, my girl. I like that one especially, do you mind if I take one home to go on my lace pillow...?"
(My Mom when she saw the porcupine pincushion for the first time)

The Porcupine Series of lace accessories grew out of the frustration of having my own pincushion land on the floor by my feet once too often.
The 'Mother of Invention' (Necessity) took over, and two hours later I had new pincushion - designed to be held down by easily available items - glass-headed berry pins...
Hand turned by me, and only me. If it's not signed and you have bought it from elsewhere, I'd like to know about, as they will be infringing copyright.

Members of the Porcupine Clan:

Porcupine Pincushion:
These vary in size (measured across the base) from dinky (30mm base) through to superlarge (71mm+). Filled with well-packed 'traditional' raw fleece which coats and protects your pins, aiding insertion as you work.

Porcupine Thread Tidy:
While firmly held (porcupine style) on your pillow, the thread tidy holds your cotton up and away from the fabric of your pillow cover.
