Infant Pincushions
These are adaptations of decorative pincushions given as presents to new parents upon the birth of their children. The present was actually the straight pins, which were quite costly and used for fastening clothing, even diapers. The decorative aspect of the pincushion was simply a very pleasing way of presenting the pins. Scraps of silk, lace and trims left over from dress making were used to fashion the pincushions.
I hand sew each pincushion, which has a lining of 100% cotton canvas, and is stuffed with sawdust. I use modern pins. Reproduction pins are available, but sell for $2 each. If I were to use reproduction pins, the price of the finished pincushions would be prohibitive.

Early 19th Century Baby’s Pincushion

Hooked Wool Strawberry
As pictured on page 81 in the August 2008 issue of Early American Life magazine. Approximately 9-1/4 inches tall. This is an original design of mine that incorporates both the traditional craft of rug hooking and 19th century make-do pincushions. The strawberry is hooked onto burlap, using wool that I dye by hand. The wool for the leaves is also hand dyed and is cut using a pinking machine. The hooked strawberry sections are sewn together by hand. The pincushion is filled with organic cotton stuffing and mounted on a glass candlestick. Candlesticks may vary slightly in appearance and height from the one pictured. I do not sell a pattern for this strawberry – it is only available as a finished pincushion. $129 on candlestick base or $127 without base.
Approximate Shipping Time: Currently being offered only during a limited number of my occasional Pop-Up Shops.
Strawberry with Emeries

Mounted on a glass candlestick or on an iron clamp as use as a third hand (see item D in photo following). Comes with one emery for $49 or with four emeries for $89.
