In The Works.....

Here are two of my stitcheries in progress. 

All stitched up, antiqued and ready to be

made into something needful.

My fingers have been very busy this week. 

The one on the left is a Pineberry Lane Patten,

one of my favorites and I'll be making

it into a sewing needlebook with an inside 

pocket to hold your scissors and some

thread.  The other is a Stacy Nash 

Primitives pattern, which I'm pretty sure

is going to become a ditty bag with a 

homespun lining and handle.

So much to stitch and so little time.

Hoping your day is a productive one!

TDIPT EBAY LAUNCH TODAY

Today Sunday, Feb 21st is our  

TDIPT Group Launch on Ebay.  

The theme is Birds of a Feather, Create Together. 

If you like primtives of a bird nature you should

stop by and see all of our new creations.  

I made this pinkeep that features twin peacocks 

in the shades of blue on the front and a tweed 

wool heart on the back.  It's firmly stuffed with 

sawdust and the fabric is a farmhouse blues 

reproduction cotton.

 

  

 

Happy viewing !

A Tisket A Tasket

Here's the latest piece that I'm working on.

I thought I'd show you what it looks like before I 

finish it into a little sewing box.

It's done on 32ct raw linen that's been 

stained and the floss is very muted

colors of drab brown, tan and green

Old mop buttons are sewn on for flowers.

I hope to offer this next month on TDIPT.

I just finished the velvet and wool 

strawberry scissor fob for my little pair

of sewing scissors.  I love how they turned

out and they make me smile.

Happy stitching !
