While you are waiting to see if you have won - check out my new online course starting on January 1st: Martha's Silk Satin Pincushion.
Martha Edlin used a waste canvas technique to embroider counted techniques on glorious silk satin, using it on a pincushion and both her embroidered casket and mirror frame. Learn to do this yourself while making your own pincushion with motifs similar in look to Martha's piece. Backed with a piece of exquisite coral pink silk velvet, the 3"x5"cushion will become a beloved piece in your collection. Worked in soie paris threads from Au Ver a Soie in the Historic Color Collection.
