This little half doll pin cushion was in absolute distress when I found her this past Saturday at an antique show. Only $10 made her mine and a couple of hours work made her over! Her original wool filled pin cushion skirt is still intact for the antique purists out there but it is now camouflaged with a new skirt topped with a strip of antique ribbon work. I can now enjoy looking at her and I won't be putting any pins in her anytime soon.
