Quilted Linen Dodecagon Pin Cushion hand-painted round wooden trinket box Found at a fantastic estateI believe I a right describing this pin cushion as a dodecagon, meaning a twelve sided polygon. At any rate, I really like the honeycomb like construction, and the patterns formed by the interplay of each piece of old linen fabric, different on each side. Just a sweet and handy little thing, made I think quite some time ago with lots of love. 5 1 4" across, 1 1 2" thick. Good condition, with stitches still tight, a little staining here and there.
