This pattern was taken from the DMC website (see the Credits page). Done on 14-ct pale blue Aida. The original design used rayon embroidery thread, but I used regular cotton thread, since I don't have any rayon in inventory and I wasn't likely to need it again soon. Took less than a day over the Memorial Day 1999 weekend.
I really did make this because I needed a pincushion, too.
