After I saw Lyn's cute little pincushions that were hats, I thought I would share these with you. These belonged to my grandmother, and my mother had them for years. These are very old, and yellowed, but I left them as my mother had them. The pins and needles in them I am assuming were from my grandmother's sewing. I keep this is a display case in my sewing room.

That is a real keepsake. They are lovely.

They are so lovely.

Beth thanks for sharing with us. They still look lovely. Hugs Yvonne

I love these. I have something that is stitched similarly, but it holds a thimble in the hat crown and has a piece of felt tacked between for needles. I think it was my great-grandmother's.

What a lovely memento of your mother and grandmother. Lovely! *4U

Beth, thea are just adorable. Age notwithstanding, are the colors still nice *****

These are lovely little treasures. Unfortuneatley I didn't know either of my grand mother's. I do crochet but haven't seen anything like these. Does anyone know of a pattern perhaps?

Very preety. I like to make these thread crochet pincushions but lately my hand are to sore.
What a treasure for you!

OMG what a memory this pincushions!!! I learned to make the one on the right on the second grade...that would be only 54 years ago...Thanks for sharing!!!!

Well - I know it is older than 54, for I am well past that. LOL My Grandmother died in the 40s.

Beth, these are precious!!!! teri

Aren't these beautiful. Wish I had a Grandma still here. They had so many ideas. Wouldn't have thought there would have been variegated cottons back in those days. Love These!

Thank you - my grandmother died when I was only about 3, so really never got to do much with her - but just remember her some.
