Puzzle Ball
I finished sewing the puzzle ball together yesterday. Maggie B seemed to think these were sewing related, but I've always thought they were baby toys - does anyone out there know for sure? Anyway, I'm glad to have it done and move on to the next project.

I love it! It's on my very long list of "to do!" I have no idea about the history of puzzle balls... will have to research!
I know nothing about puzzle balls, either, but it looks like it could work as either a baby toy or a pin cushion. I just look at it and think, "Who figures out these things?"
You did a good job of it. I don't think I would be able to wrap my brain around it. : )
either way, it turned out very cute :)
I don't know but it's very cute! If I had that laying around in my house though, my sons would be playing with it.:)
I first saw puzzle balls as a child in Kentucky. Women there made and sold them as a child's toy. I learned to make them over 35 years ago and still make them.
I was amazed when they reappeared now as sewing/pincushions.
I have some Victorian sewing books from my great grandmother in which they were made as a pincushion oddity.
Once you make one - you will want to make more! They are a lot of fun.
I have only seen them made in bright colours for a child. But I guess a pin cushion is an option!
Yours turned out so well. Congrats!! I love it no matter what it is!
I love the colors that you chose and the stitching around the edges. Bet it was a lot of work. Yours looks perfect.
I've seen those baby puzzle ball on the internet. I've seen some that were crocheted . It looks like a lot of work. Very cute. You did a terrific job on it.

Don't know anything about puzzle balls--yours looks great--makes me want to try one for myself.
Very cute Gayle, I always thought it is a baby toy too.
This looks complicated to make.
Very beautiful and vintage !
