Cottage Garden Embroidered and Felted Pincushion by Lynwoodcrafts

Shared by Lynwoodcrafts in the Fabric Crafts


Product Description:

A pretty, felted and embroidered cottage garden border decorates this pincushion.

Sky blue wool fibers have been felted to a background of kunin felt (produced from recycled plastic bottles. Textured, hand-dyed wool tops, some of them with lovely curls, have been felted in clumps to represent the planting. Stitching in fine cotton has been added to the sky to 'stabilise' the felting. Simple embroidery stitches, in crewel, tapestry and knitting wools, have been used to create more foliage and the pretty flowers. The pincushion is edged in blanket stitch using threads to match the areas of the design.
