Dragonfly Pincushion

This past November I took a class with designer Sandra Mollon at Thistle Dew Quilt Shoppe in Fair Oaks, California to make an embroidered pincushion.

In the class Sandra showed us how to use embroidery, beads, memory wire and metallic ink to create a beautiful dragonfly pincushion.

 I used Stof Shabby Chic Linen Blend for my background.

It's taken me a few months to complete but I'm very happy with my finished pincushion.

And no I don't think it will ever be used as an ACTUAL pincushion - it's a work of ART!
