Tuesday Treasures
Maybe it's because I'm part of Fiona's pin cushion swap at BubzRubz, but I've been thinking about pin cushions quite a lot lately. This is one of my favourites and I thought I'd share it for Tuesday Treasures today. I bought it at the Kilmore Quilt Show in 2009. I love the way the maker matched the embroidery design to the pattern on the mug.

What a pretty tea cup and embroidery. I love the autumn colours. appropriate for Melbourne's weather.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful pin cushion with great embroidery. Love the old cotton reels too. Tracee xx
ReplyDeleteThat is just gorgeous. I am to afraid to have pieces like that in my house. My kids seem to break anything and everything. One day...
ReplyDeleteHi Mel, Love the teacup pincushion. Cheers Kaylee
ReplyDeleteI love tea cups and pin cushions. Yours is lovely. I have never seen a flower like that on a tea cup before. I will have to try to make a pincushion like that. I saw one where they glued the saucer on too to catch bits and pieces.
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely and the stitching so clever to match.. that kind of pincushion looks so useful... deep and weighted aswell... and I love you vintage spool accessories too... perfect picture...

I love this pincushion. What a lovely buy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. So clever to use a pretty cup after the saucer is broken.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pin cushion. I have wanted to make one of these for ages. This one is certainly inspiring, I love the embroidery on the top - I would never have thought of that. Thank you :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely way to keep a memory alive and well I think using a cup (or any bowl really) as a pin cushion. I wished I'd kept a few of my mothers so now I could be enjoying them like that!
ReplyDeleteHello Melody,
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday to you. I love your pincushion cup. The embroidery is lovely and it is great how it all ties in together.
Happy days.
