19th C mini cushions at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery




On a trip to Bristol Museum today I came across these mid- late nineteenth century textile cushions. They were no bigger than 12cm across but there was no information as to their purpose, however I think that they may be pin cushions. The samples include tatting, beadwork, netting, embroidery, canvas work and quilting which were popular needle work pursuits of ladies of the time.
