I can hear my Mother now, "Be careful you could poke someone's eye out with that." I think it is beautiful and would like to have one myself.

Yes it is a porcupine quill!!! I took a class from Wendy Mathson on Storm at Sea and she uses them and was selling them, too. It works great! I think it is a very unique quilting tool. She assured us that no porcupines were harmed in the procuring of their quills for quilter's stilettos!

I love it, but with my luck it would roll off my sewing table and stab one of my kitties!! :roll:

I wouldn't want to run into a porcupine that size! I use quills too (not the African size!) for earrings etc and my friend does the old time quillwork.

I bought mine quite a while ago from one of the major catalogs. Love it.
