When I was looking for something else I ran across a partially finished pinball. It was a kit from Williamsburg, I think. One side was done and the rest of the kit was MIA.
After listening to a lecture on pinballs, I wanted to finish this. I remember that the pinball ring from Williamsburg was a couple hundred dollars. No way was I going to buy that. But during the lecture I heard about an Etsy store that sells them. So I went to the site and ordered one. Boy, did I mess up.
I didn’t mean to order the white one. I wanted the black and silver one. That was my first mistake.
Then I didn’t even think to check what size it was. Turns out that it is much too small to hold my stitching.
The ring is a little less than 2 inches in diameter.
So what to do? Well, I guess I’ll make it into a round pin cushion with some velvety looking fabric
You win some and you lose some.
It is raining today so I walked inside.
Have a nice weekend.
I don't know if the link will work, but I did a post about Ann's pinballs a while ago. It appears the same pattern as you've stitched, 4" with a 2" ring. Colonial Pinball from The Posy Collection and Williamsburg.
