Cheerful Old Stuffed Cotton Piecework Ball uli schoop art This fabulous Czechoslovakian wooden "rampThis ball just appeals to me as a cheerful thing, which could function as a large pin cushion, or just a ball to throw or roll around, or an colorful object to set somewhere, perhaps one amid a stack or pile of others. Good weight cotton fabric held together with white thread and, happily, not quite round! 6 diameter x 4 1 4 t and in good shape, with a few stains toning vision on the white of the striped fabric. Tight seams and fully stuffed.
