Pincushions have such an interesting history and examples still exist that are very old. They have had such lovely names -Pimpilowes, Pimplos, Pin-pillows, Pinpoppets to name a few. By the 16th century they were Pyn Pillows and were made as gifts for weddings, new baby gifts etc.

These details are included on the gift tag included with this set.
