This lovely Victorian style wooden pincushion replica is the perfect setting for our Waterlilies and Dragonfly design. BUY YOUR WOODEN SPINDLE PINCUSHION FORM FROM THE CRAFTSMAN HERE! I’ve used delicious silks and over-dyes to create the waterlilies out of silk ribbon, and added the leaves in silk floss, and the dragonfly with regular and bugle beads. A matching “dragonfly” scissors case can be stitched to go with it! The wood pincushion is a copy of an antique spindle pincushion dated circa the mid to late 1800’s. The wooden spindle base is about 6.5" tall and is hand-made of cherry wood. It has wooden pegs for decorative thread spools, a turned spindle and then another round platform for the stuffed cushion. (Alternatively, you could finish this pattern with the Mahogany Pincushion Tray from Sudberry.) There are video finishing instructions for this type
