I made this Frankenstein pincushion for my friend Ian for his birthday this week.  I found some images online and made a small paper piecing pattern and put it together in a couple hours.  Ian has a space in the same studio as I do and makes these awesome stuffed alien creatures, and until now, his poor little straight pins just hung out in a box. He is also into science fiction and horror and the like so this seemed like the perfect gift.  Happy birthday Ian!
