simple pin cushion

hi folks,
i'd been sick the last 3 days and felt the urge to do a quick project. besides, almost all my stitch markers have been given to me by people and i wanted to display them so i could look at them but didn't like the boards. i wanted ready availability. this is the free simple pin cushion from http://www.frugalhaus.com/homepage/freepats.htm which is the old frugalhaus site. it took me about 2 hours to make this morning. i put stitch holders from cheryl, rhonda, cathy, and my lace ones i purchased on it for the picture. it's about 3 1/2 inches across. so now that i know i love it, i'm going to make one about 5 inches across and 13 stitches high so my longer stitch holders will dangle down the sides nicely. i also put a few sewing pins in as there's no reason it can't double as the pin cushion it was originally intended to be. i knitted mine from woa double stranded and sewed thru it to hold it together but it would make a very good project for a child if you follow the actual directions. i love my little marker holder :).
