Charming Antique Walnut Pin Cushion folk art wooden bird 9" x 3 1/8" xAnother great old pin cushion and another example of putting readily accessible (free!) materials to practical use, in this case the shell of a walnut. Brown fabric (silk I believe, and I think two layers of it) with tightly packed stuffing inside (perhaps sawdust, it's a bit hard to tell), and with a red ribbon loop, which would make it easy to wear around one's neck when doing some sewing or mending. Definitely it was used, with plenty of pin pricks
