This is a fun and useful project. I bought this kit in the sale bin. It is a Mill HillBeaded Pin Pillow (MHBPP4 Daisy Dream) c.2003 Design Size is 28x28. There is ONE piece of linen and easy instructions to bead the design -- add the fringe -- & sew the pillow shut. I added FOUR round magnets inside. The kit came with one -- but, I used four.
AND IT WORKS! When I spill my pins -- I wave this over & they all hop to the magnet front & back. I have purchased magnet wands & my boys 'borrow them' .... translated to I never get them back. This magnet is so pretty -- they don't touch it.

What a kewl project! I love the colors. Sounds like a very useful tool.
That is a very kewl project!
I was just looking at these on the Silver Needle website. They sound like fun. Whenever I have out my sewing machine I am always dropping my pins--this would be great!
I am loving this!!! May have to order a couple!!!
Thanks for the "tip" about adding a few more magnets.
Love the pin pillow Lelia! I did the pansy one for my mom last Christmas. The idea of adding extra magnets is great, too. :)
What a great idea!! Thanks for sharing that! I am definately going to have to explore this!
Oh no, not something else I HAVE to buy LOL. This really is a great little project - it'd be a nice gift for my Mum to have by her sewing machine ... OK, back online to check out designs ;)
Wow, that was just made with me in mind. No matter how careful I am, I always upset the tin of pins ...
He he he, I had to chuckle at the thought of you spilling pins and waving a magnet around over them! I had a magnet in my sewing box for years, for that purpose, and the wretched thing magnetised everything, so that pins needles and everything else metallic, stuck to my scissors and all!!!
