Title	Pincushion (Diamond design)
Creator	Unknown
Date.Original	Mid 19th c.
Description	Pillow shaped pincushion, with wool Irish stitches (later known as Bargello or flame stitch) on one side. The overall design is alternating diamond patterns in shades of yellow, red, purple and green. Each stitch is outlined in black with a white center.The back of the pincushion is lined with an orange wool fabric with a black and silver sprig design.
Notes	The diamond designs are reminiscent of 18th c. Irish stitch (later known as flame stitch or Bargello). The pincushion was found wrapped in a rectangular shaped white pillowcase, with pink stripes and green dots and a floral design. Inside the pillowcase was a note written on a mail order form with the date ""March 5, 1927."" The note, located on the back of the form, written in pencil read ""Old pincushion probably HBH"".
