A friend of mine, and a classmate in my bobbin lace class, found a pillow
labeled pincushion at a Thrift Store.
We, including our teacher, agree that this appears to be a Teneriffe
Pillow, albeit an unusual one.
My friend would like to know if anyone is familiar with Teneriffe Pillows
looking like this one? And perhaps why it was made this way?

Here are the two links using tinyurl.

Thanks for any help you can give.

===========================================================

This looks like a homemade Teneriffe cushion and should have worked quite
well.  Since it is essentially a calibrated pincushion, any square or round
Teneriffe motif, with almost any number of points, could be made on it. From
the work in progress on the square side, it seems to work quite well.  It
should still be useable if the filling hasn't deteriorated.
