I have mine sitting on a shelf in my sewing room. If you can find the 4" tall ones, you can make pin cushions from them.

I think these are spinning wheel bobbins for when you spin your own wool.

I have two of them that have candles in the top and a gingham looking ribbon tied just under the top rim! They look great in a country decorated home.

They can be used as candle holders (thin Tapers). Or depending on the size as binding holders ~ put a ribbon through the center large & long enough enough to fit over your head so that it will rest comfortably on your chest. Enjoy, they are neat !

I saw a lamp made out of one of them just yesterday

I suppose you could use them to put your binding on to keep before you use it on the quilt!! :)
