Pincushions

* SOLD*Bernard Bear with Flower Appliqué Pincushion

***SOLD***Bernard is all hand sewn from a beautiful blonde longer imported German mohair fabric. He has handmade imported German glass eyes and is all 5 way disc jointed, so his limbs and head all move. I have tinted him slightly using pan pastels to age him. He has been heavily stuffed with premium fiberfil, wood wool, buckwheat hulls and glass beads giving him a weight of 1 pound 13 ounces! He stands at 13” tall to the top of his head, sitting he is 9 1/2” and his bottom is 5” wide. I’ve tried to get accurate pictures but it’s hard in these cloudy Ohio days so I hope you can see how lovely he really is. He is a beautiful golden blonde color. The pattern I used is a free one by Ria de Rooii, offered by an online site I follow. He comes with a lovely overdyed wool pincushion that I’ve appliquéd a flower on from a Sue Spargo pattern book and added some fun stitching to it. The pincushion is stuffed with crushed walnut shells and has a nice weight to it. The pincushion measures 6 1/2” x 4 1/2” and has a beautiful batik fabric backing matching the front base color wool. Color in person is much prettier too! Together they weigh a whopping 2 pounds and 12.1 ounces and I will have to charge more for shipping him (sorry I do try to keep my shipping as low as possible and do refund any overcharge of $1) If you have any questions please ask. Kindly asking $255 for him and $10 shipping. Thank you kindly for stopping by! …..please click on main image for more images of the pincushion and bear. I have more images on both Facebook and instagram as well.

Velvet Heart

Made from a vintage piece of red velvet that I dyed a bit with coffee this sweet heart is reminiscent of bygone Valentine's Days. A piece of repro red print cotton backs the heart of velvet while 2 vintage mother-of-pearl buttons adorn the front. It makes a lovely pincushion as it is stuffed with wool homegrown in my state of Pennsylvania to keep your pins from rusting. The heart will also make a lovely addition to a bowl or basket. It measures 7 1/4 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches wide. This is the last of my red velvet so I cannot take orders. There are two available. I am kindly asking $30 each which includes the cost of shipping.
