Forget Me Not, Large, Early 20th Century Soldier Made Heart Shaped Folk Art "Sweetheart" Pin Cushion female This terrific old striped woodenA large and a bit over the top pin cushion, which I really like knowing was most likely decorated by a man. Sawdust stuffed hearts like this are called "sweetheart pin cushions" and were made by soldiers convalescing in hospitals, primarily in England, where they were apparently the brainchild of Queen Victoria, who thought that soldiers might find crafting these to send home to sweethearts a happy distraction. This one I believe dates to WW1 or so,
