Eight-Pointed Civil War "Buckshot" Pincushion
Designed by Ellen Highsmith Silver
Quilters of the Civil War era likely created these pincushions using remnants of their favorite fabrics. At the time, they used buckshot as the filler, which was plentiful at the time. Today, buckshot is not so easy to find, so designer Ellen Highsmith Silver employs a modern-day combination of polyester pellets and quilt batting scraps to fill her reproduction pincushions.
