Pincushion |
This is not quilting, but I was feeling like showing one of my pincushions that I re-discovered after putting order in my studio. I think that this embroidery was meant to be a big one (I don't remember what exactly) but it remained at the size of a pincushion!! I suppose the work of cross-stitching on a raw piece of old linen was tedious and backbreaking, and it discouraged me from going further!

C'est tout de même très joli !
ReplyDeleteMerci Christine!
DeleteI tried cross stitching after many years and decided my eyes are not what they used to be! Your pin cushion is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori. I did a lot of cross stitch until about two years ago that I finished an alphabet on very thin dark linen, and I understood my eyes were getting tired!
DeleteThis is one of my favorites. Just love the vintage look of it...don't know if I 'd be able to stick pins in it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat is really too pretty to stick pins into. I love it.
