| Dresden Pincushions |
One of the most rewarding aspects of quilting is creating useful and lovely items for the studio from scraps of fabric. Monica Solorio-Snow of Happy Zombie Quilt designed the Dresden Pincushions project to create a classic take on Dresden plate block techniques and transform any fabric print bits into stunning displays in your sewing room.
This project adds colorful delights to your tabletop, and your pins stay neat and tidy, no matter which version you select, it's the flower-shaped or the round one.

Why You’ll Love Making This Project
This pattern is great for a quick weekend project, and it's a perfect way to learn some of the rules of piecing and perfect for using as your stash. Folds that create clean, crisp points fold nicely to make that all-important starburst pattern while the small fabric wedges are turned inwards. Packed with fiberfill or walnut shells, the pincushion is firm enough to safely hold needles and pins of all sizes.
Final Thought
As long as the sewing room is decorated in a functional way, each stitching session will feel a little special. The Dresden Pincushion is a quick, rewarding sewing project that encourages you to use small scraps of fabric to create a fun little handmade treasure, whether you're giving it as a present to a friend who loves to sew or adding some color to your own sewing room!
