19th
Century Homespun Heart Pinkeep
These are made similar to
pincushions of the 19th century but I think they make wonderful
valentine ornaments! The heart measures about 3 1/2" long
(not including the ribbon). For now, I have them in barn red
homespun with vintage cream buttons and ribbons. I hope to add
more later that will go with simple farmhouse, shabby
chic, cottage, and French flea market decors --- think natural
linens and sumptuous silks!
$8 each
SOLD ~ thank you!

Primitive Linen
Strawberry
A simple adornment
for your cupboard door or basket of whimsies, this 3" linen
berry will add a bit of primitive charm to your folk art decor. I
have hand stitched it, stuffed it with antique quilt snippets, and
aged it with a coffee / vanilla mixture. I sewed a very old mother
of pearl button on the front for embellishment.

SOLD ~ thank you!

Primitive
Scissor Pockets
Completely hand stitched, these 4
1/2" pockets are made from an old, worn feed sack quilt of
the early 1900's. The original quilt had been completely hand
pieced and hand quilted with a cotton batting. These little
pockets, which can hold a 4" pair of embroidery scissors or a
little bundle of dried flowers, will make a sweet addition to your
collection of primitive textile smalls. I've also made a little
strawberry for each pocket, made from the backing fabric of the
quilt. It hangs from a vintage or antique button. Everything has
been aged and stained with a coffee / vanilla mixture and baked in
the hot Tennessee sun.
$15 each
SOLD ~ thank you!

Primitive Pincushion & Box
The 3" square paper mache box has been
painted brown inside and out, embellished with a combing technique
on the sides and a dark blue stenciled design on top. I then
sanded everything to give it an aged look. The pincushion is made
of two coordinating reproduction fabrics, tufted with vintage
buttons, and stuffed with fiberfil and a bit of dried lavender
buds.
