Sweet Old Once Red Hand-sewn Tomato Pin Cushion sport knife and these would be aI believe this old pin cushion was meant to represent a tomato, with green felted patch on top, though the red of the hand dyed linen has very nicely faded to a soft rose. I like its very folky homemade ness, and the pins still in it all over. A sweet old thing. I forgot to measure this one, but approx 3" wide. Good condition, sturdy and sound, just as found.
