About this Product
This Royal Heritage teacup has a variety of pretty flowers making it hard to choose a fabric for the pincushion. I settled on what I call a pinky peach muted fabric. Not taking away from the cup, the muted pinky peach is a great compliment to the teacup. After fashioning and hand sewing the pincushion, it was secured with a special glue to the inside of the teacup. There were enough scraps to then fashion a coaster using clothesline rope and wrapping the scraps around it and sewing it on a regular sewing machine. Something fun and unique to enjoy while sewing or quilting.
Tower Creations by Madeline
Meet the Maker
I’ve always loved creating, with a philosophy of renew, redo, and repurpose. My work includes scarves with a unique edging technique, fabric baskets, soft fabric pins, and repurposed treasures like wooden spool scissor holders and chipped china jewelry trays.
Driven by both sustainability and imagination, I transform scraps and vintage finds into functional art while also designing new, one-of-a-kind pieces. Each creation is made with care, carrying its own quiet story of transformation.
Inspired by the meaning of my name, Madeline, I see my work as a tower—grounded in strength, elevated by creativity, and open to light. I’m deeply grateful for my supportive husband, our blended family of four children, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren—my greatest motivators. And of course, Ollie, our four-legged house boss, who graciously allows us to share her home.
How it’s Made
Royal Heritage makes beautiful china, inspiring with the beautiful colors of the flowers that adorn the teacups, I wanted to make this pincushion a bit more sophisticated which is why I chose the pinky peach fabric. I call it pinky peach because it reminds me of both colors. The pincushion was hand made with stuffing and hand stitches. Then it was secured to the inside of the teacup using my special glue. What was once a sometimes-used teacup is now something that can literally be used every day. And of course, to have more, the rest of the scraps were made into the coaster using clothesline rope and a sewing machine.
