Initially, I had planned on making a black and orange puzzle ball pincushion, but since I couldn't find any black velvet in my fabrics, I went with brown and orange, which is great for fall.
Later when I was looking for blue fabrics for a special order, I ran across a vintage pair of really thick, black wool, men's pants... no zipper, snap closure... maybe mid-century, I think.
Anyway, I decided to try another puzzle ball pincushion using the orange velvet and black wool. Although it took much longer to hand-stitch the thick wool, it turned out great and I love the contrast in fabrics.
The orange isn't quite as light as it looks in the photos. It's a very pretty mellow orange and looks perfect in a prim, folk art decor. Look how well it goes with one of my pumpkin and raven papercuttings!
This puzzle ball pincushion is slightly larger than my last one. This one is about 5 1/2" across.
If you're interested, there's only one available...
$75 plus $6 shipping in the U.S.
I will ship internationally --- email me for shipping cost.
SOLD ~ thank you!
That's it until next week!
Blessings,
