Strawberry Pincushion Leaflet
Designer Thea Deuck describes this design beautifully:
Spindle Pincushion, Pinkeep and Strawberry Emery... This beautiful project features a Victorian-style pincushion replica; a copy of an antique spindle pincushion dated circa the mid to late 1800s. I’ve used delicious silks and overdyes of leaf greens and rosy reds with some sparkling white beadwork for the strawberry flowers. The wooden spindle base is about 6.5" tall and is hand-made of alder wood. It has wooden pegs for decorative thread spools, a turned spindle and then another round platform for the stuffed cushion. (Alternatively, you could finish this pattern with the Mahogany Pincushion Tray.) I’ve included several matching strawberry smalls to hang from top: a strawberry pinkeep and an embroidered ‘strawberry emery’, that can be used to sharpen your needles if stuffed with emery sand. What a wonderful way to reach through the centuries to our shared needlework past with our needlework sisters! - Thea
