One of the best kept secrets of stitching and quilting witches are the pincushions made by Portella Carbunkle. She's a very wise and sewing savvy witch who, long ago, spirited up a pincusionj that would enchant all needles and pins store din it. It will then give the user magical stitching abilities. We ALL need that, right? Portella also claims that the more bits and bobs and little cute goodies you put on the pincushions hat brim, the stronger the enchantment! That's enough encouragement for me to search high and low for fun things to stick on mine.
