I can’t even find one – I probably sold every last one of them because $20 is $20 and it all added up! And I needed every penny to buy that piano so it’s going to take me a few days to get one from Connie, find one around here or make a new one. Then I will post the directions with pictures of not only the pincushion but also the piano. The dogs have kept me so busy I haven’t even been able to post about the concrete windowsills yet but….I will. And…..I hope to clean out the pincushion display case one shelf at a time to show you. Oh boy, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet! Ha ha! If you were impressed with the tomatoes, get your seat belts buckled, ladies! Have I got a show lined up for you!

Love show and tell! Can’t wait to see your collection!
I can hardly wait!
i was impressed with all your tomatoes. how long did it take to collect all of them.
Jody – I collected for 35 years.
Just last night I was showing my pincushion to friends down here at Orange Grove!! Studsrud S do exercises each morning to a tap your mom made! Small world!!
Sharon – you don’t mean they are still doing exercises to Moms tape from all those years ago? The ladies at church use it, too, but I just can’t make myself join them because it’s he voice.
Both Mother and I use our Grand Piano Pincushions every single day. I have bought 9 or 10 for gifts so I feel like one key is mine. Your posts are the highlight of my day. Thanks for taking time to share.
I love pin cushions. Enjoyed seeing your tomato collection.
I have one measly pincushion, but you have to start somewhere; right!
I love all of your show and tells, look forward to seeing what comes next. I have one tomato pincushion,had it since high school, so it is pretty old, but not as old as some of yours. Looking forward to seeing many more.
I love pincushions so I can’t wait to see your collection. I have collected some over time. like you I put my tomato pincushions in a glass jar. we must have seen the same picture in Country Sampler.

Looking forward to it. Always love a show & tell.
We’re ready for the pin cushions. Each year I’ve made pin cushions for our Project Warmth booth to sell at the quilt show, but they are rather common. They are in baskets, cups or whatever we come up with. Hobby Lobby has a nice little picnic basket about 2″x 3″ with just a handle and it works great. They sell out every year.
Keep it all coming. We love it.
Loved the tomatoes! Can’t wait to see other collections! What fun!
I can’t wait.

Looking forward to your next “show”! HUGS… and stitches
Love your posts. Can’t believe I haven’t started a tomato pin cushion Collection. Have lots and some from your store. Miss you. Keep up the posts.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do show and tell and posting the wonderful pictures of your collections, your four footed “guests”, and Iowa. Love it all.
I love your posts. They cheer me up.
Thank you. Pin cushions here we come…😊
This is so fun, reading your blog! Can’t wait to see the other pics. You are such a bright light on a dull, winter day!
Waiting with bated breath. I love old collections like that.
Mary, Had a glimpse of your glass display case with the pin cushions and am so looking forward to seeing them close up….and the Piano Pin Cushion.
Yesterday’s quake was 4.6 with smaller tremblers from 2.? to 1.? !! We’re heating up from 41 to 72 degrees today. Spring is in the air as yesterday’s warm up got me busy recovering the front porch wicker cushion and small pillow……Used an old black background with huge red-orange, yellow and white Poppies print and while I sewed I had a deja vu moment about Martha Stewart showing on TV how she separated the Poppies in her garden.
