Each of these little pinushions has been handstitched in my contemporary boro, using fabrics from round the world. They may be new, but are more likely to be vintage, rescued, reused. Each one is unique, of course.

I have padded them sturdily and permanently fixed each into a mini white porcelain ramekin dish.

Choose between reds and blues and I will send a random one in your colour choice.

Size: dish is 6.5cm in diameter and 2.5cm high. Total height including pincushion is approx 4.5cm

I am trying out DMC Eco Vita wool threads on a piece of dyed blanket. No rules, just experimenting. I like the soft colour palette of these naturally dyed organic crewel wools which I found at @mybearpaw  a couple of weeks ago. I succumbed to lovely Japanese fabrics there too🤗

I don’t dye yarn no more, but I do dye thread…
These ones coming soon to the Tart’s emporium

A very happy sunny Edinburgh day - lots of quick chats and warm hugs with so many friends old and new at the inaugural Woolly Good Gathering at Summerhall.

A triumph for the organisers, it was a welcoming inclusive event with space to breathe and so much beautiful yarn and fibre.

Later a lovely catch up with a dear friend who embraces life to the full in her ninth decade - a role model of the best kind.
