Antique Quilt Pinkeep #4

I love using antique quilts in my creations. The quilt I used for this was one that had seen better days. The quilt was over 100 years old and showing a lot of wear so I salvaged what I could to make these wonderful pinkeeps. I can only imagine the history this quilt has! The pinkeep is a beautiful tan and cream color embellished with mother-of-pearl buttons, a tiny bronze heart charm, and vintage glass-head pins. I stitched some cording I made around the pinkeep. It is firmly stuffed with wool scraps and sits in an old baking tin that I found at an antique shop. I am including the tiny 1” wool strawberry fob I made and the tiny silver scissors. Kindly asking $65.00 and $7.50 for travel fare.
