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?

Pat T. =========================================================== 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.
