Off-handedly Beautiful Old Hand-stitched Homespun Fabric Rag Ball Pin Cushion tramp art watch bolder I'm not an expert onPurchased from a favorite PA based dealer, I don't believe this pin cushion ball aspired to be anything especially lovely but I find it very much so. Just a scrap of homespun fabric expediently stitched in a few spots to secure it. But the shape of the ball and the folds and wrinkles in the plaid and the placement of the stitches all manage to be just right. Strangely super satisfying. 2 d x 1 3 4 t and in great condition.
