vintage rocking chair pin cushions

I know I've posted about my rocking chair pin cushions before, but I recently checked on Ebay and found several going for various prices. And I'd swear that no two are alike! These are the two I already owned, the one from my grandma on the left, and the one I bought a local antique store on the right:

The one on the right got a CQ make-over, which I wrote about for CQ Mag Online.

I went a little crazy and bid on and won these two:

The one on the right has an opening in the back to tuck your small scissors into. Will these two chairs get CQ make-overs too? Only time will tell.....

Those are so cute, Janet. I love the way they can hold bobbins too. Your bookstore looks so inviting! Great wedding photos; I have a friend who lives in Ridgway and looks out at that view daily, the lucky soul.

Hi Janet,

These tiny rocking chair pin cushions are so cute. I may write a post on my blog about these. They're so unique.

I see those a lot in our thrift stores. I do have one that I got for myself.
