It is MOST, adorable :) It just makes me smile when I look at it.
This was a lot of fun to put together. I chose a Blackbird design as my stitched piece. I added some ricrac and a cream trim on top of that and of course....my signature gingham ribbon :) All you do is release the screw (the stitched piece turns for adjustments)place on the edge of your crafting table, sewing table or whatever surface you want to display the pincushion and tighten the screw. There you go-how CUTE and useful is that? :) I think it is so pretty and I hope one of you do as well as this is going to go in my RAK basket for one of my regular visitors :) There will definitely be MANY more of these in my stitching future :)

LOL Adorable, Becky! I will keep my eyes peeled in the antique shops for you!
Love how you finished it...very pretty.
Ok - I think that's the most unique finish I have ever seen. I love it and the stitching is of course lovely. What a great idea! Whoda ever thunk it? Jannie ( - :
I've never seen anything like this. What a great idea!
Great idea for a finish!
Marilyn
This is the cutest thing ever. I know what you mean about the clamps...I have looked and looked with no luck. Love this finish!
Another BEE-utiful finish, Becky!
Oh Becky! I always wonder how you're going to top yourself but you always do!
Amazingly I was only reading an article this afternoon in a back issue of Samplers and Antique Needlework on clamps and decided to look our for one.
So beautiful Becky.
Wishing you and your husband a good weekend xxx
AWESOME!!! :o)
That is such a neat idea! You did a great job...looks great!
That is such a cute & useful finish!! Out of interest how did you get the stitching attached to the clamp?? X
Too cute.. good use of what we have.
You did a wonderful job as usual. I know I have seen these clamps in our travels to different antique shops...now I have to start searching again. I just love it.
What a wonderful finish Becky!! Great job!
Hugs
Lovely Becky!!
Very cool little sewing clamp! I have one from a kit that Maureen Appleton did a few years back. Seeing yours really makes me want to get that thing back out and finish it. I love how you chose to finish yours up!
What a great idea! I like it a lot!
What a clever idea!
Hi Becky,
This is really something! I thought the Brie box was as unique an idea as one could come up with, but this is wonderful. You took a piece of plain metal and turned it into something truly beautiful!! Cudos to you and your endless talent.

That is just the sweetest thing ever!

How innovative and cute!!!! How did you atttach the stitching to the clamp??
This is just adorable. You and hubby are so clever to come up with this alternative clamp. Love the trims you use.
You are so talented, Becky! What a lovely finish!
O my goodness... how clever is that?! It is so cute. You are so inventive.

What a wonderful idea and the pin cushion is beautiful.
What more can I say? It is quite unique and adorable! I will keep an eye out for clamps for you--have a great store in NC when I visit or pass through! Hugs!
What a clever idea, and so useful! Leave it to you!
So creative! Thanks for sharing.
Becky what a cute finish. You and your DH are very inventive. It looks like the real thing
Oh, Becky, you have done it again! Is that just a C-clamp? How original!! That could really be useful at a sewing table!!
Debbie
Brilliant idea, Becky. It looks great and the stitching divine.

Great improvisation Becky! I love the pincushion.
This is such a cute idea hun; I never would have thought of it. I'm sure whoever the lucky person is will love it..Glad you love your computer...
Hugs,Shar
I love how you "think outside the box" Becky, and find such creative uses for everyday things... Lovely little pincushion!!
How sweet! Becky if there was a creative finish of the year award, I would nominate you. You always manage to think outside of the box with your finishing. You sure are lucky to have a creative husband too that does a good job helping you out. I wish my honey was like that. He just likes seeing the final result. ;)
Happy Stitching!
Jen
Now aren't you just the bee's knees?! That's pretty cool! Happy weekend my friend!

An unusual and perfect finish Becky!
That is so unusual.It's lovely,the design you chose is perfect.
What a unique finish!
I love visiting your blog Becky, because there are so many finishes and they're all so incredibly pretty and it's just so inspiring :)
Just lovely! And, a wonderful finish!
A great finish. Love it!
The design is lovely Becky. I'll have to take a look through the numerous antique shops here up North. This area is very famous for the Madison Bouckville Antique festival every August. As a result we have numerous antique shops near me. I'll take a look and see if I find any clamp pin cushions. I won't go until the weather gets warmer, but I'll let you know if I find any.
Brightest Blessings,
Beth
I've never seen a table-top type pin cushion before! Next time I'm poking around an antique shop I'll watch out for one for you.
Very cute and useful project!
Wonderful idea and a lovely finish!
magnifique réalisation !
bravo bisous de France
Another amazing, and unique finish, Becky.
Its very pretty, love it.
Love to all

Oh my how very clever...LOVE it !
You and your husband are so brilliant!! I love the clamp cushion!!

Becky,
That turned out perfectly! And how wonderful that your hubby helped with improvisation. I know I would never have thought of using a clamp, but while it's not "exact", it worked beautifully! Keep up the good work and keep your innovative ideas coming!
