Another delightful Pincushion for your collection of special pincushions. You will find a black and white ‘symbols’ chart with suggested materials list on the first two pages. On the next two pages, you’ll find a coloured version of the chart, so you can more easily change the colours given. The coloured chart is very useful as a creative exercise substituting or choosing colours! The idea for this pincushion came from fond memories of playing outside with my friends and neighbors who had adjoining backyards. The neighborhood was safe and joyful, and we were welcome everywhere. It takes a village to raise a child. Enjoy stitching this village scene on the enclosed creamy 28ct linen, and either frame it, or enjoy fashioning it into a Drum Pincushion for yourself, or as a gift! - Thea
