Strawberry Patch Pincushion

Every pincushion tells a story.

Strawberries have a very short season in the little English village of Wits End and the last ones of the year have the sweetest flavor (if you can get to them before they are nibbled by Luna Rabbit and her friends!). This pincushion celebrates late Summer when the berries have a heady fragrance and taste divine dipped in chocolate with some whipped cream or boiled up to make the most delicious jam to slather on scones.

But I digress. The background of this pincushion is black and has a healthy strawberry plant on it with both flowers and fruit. The three dimensional strawberries are securely attached but definitely not designed to be played with by small people or fur babies. The underside of this pincushion is pale pink. All the small felt shapes are individually cut out by hand and then carefully stitched in place. The felt I use is 100% wool and the pincushion is stuffed with premium polyester fill. This pincushion measures 3.5 inches in diameter and stands approximately 2.25inches tall, approximately 3 inches tall to the top of the strawberries.
