Was nosing around the Sentimental Stitches site and I found two really cool links. The first one lists all sorts of free patterns by category: wall hangings, crib quilts, home decor, bed quilts, etc. The second one links to a Martha Stewart craft page with numerous directions for making pincushions:tomatoes, strawberries, teacups, etc. They are really quite charming.

Have fun looking!
