Fall Rag Runner

Here is my raggedy table runner I made using homespun fabrics and Heartstrings embroidery halloween primitive designs. I love fall and halloween so this one was right up my alley. Now I do plan on grubby staining this one for a more primitive attic look with a great smelling fall scent.

Granddaughters 3rd Birthday Gifts






Thought I would brag a little bit today. Our Granddaughter Laney turns 3 today. She loves the color pink. Pink Party, Pink undies, Pink dresses and Pink Dollies. One day she came over and grandma was working on her first raggedy doll and of course she asked if she could help me stuff her. Later she asked if she could have a doll and if I could make her a pink one. Of course said grandma and off we went into the sewing room to pick out the perfect pink fabric. This is my second doll I have made, my first one is still in the works as I needed to finish this one for the PINK Party that we are having. I made a matching purse, doll quilt, kitty and doll. Enjoy these pictures.

Primitive Pillows-its a great life and This to shall pass

I made these pillows for my Aunt Sheila. She means so much to me and is truly the greatest aunt/mother one would want to know. Her grandma, which was my great grandma, used to say these sayings all the time. They bring back memories and when we talk to each-other these phrases are often quoted. I couldn't resist to surprise her for mothers day with these great pillows she can place somewhere and always be reminded of simpler times. I grubby stained them and used a great concentrated scent also. Do you have any memories you would like to pass along? Email me and let's get sewing that special gift for your loved ones.



Primitive Crow appliqued Valances


Are you a lover of Crows-well if you are these will be right up your alley or on your window. I took these great applique designs from http://www.heartstringsembroidery.com/catalog and made this Valance for my sewing room. These along with all my primitives I am collecting are helping me to create the perfect primitive sewing machine room with decor and all. It really helps keep me creative. Coming next- pictures of the sewing room and how I am decorating/sewing/crafting all from the same room. Stay Tuned. PS-if you love these crow designs-you may want to check out the gal whom created the graphics- Eileen from http://www.senecapondcrafts.com/store/ She has some can't do without graphics and ready made gifts that are oh so primitive and fun.

Military Sampler Pillows


Need we say more? I showed you the pillow top last week and now the finished product. This is going to a great gift idea- email me now and let's get sewing. Custom orders take between 1-2 weeks for completion, depending on how many orders I have-so keep this in mind when thinking about that special gift giving event.

Baby Burp Clothes-Terry Cloth

These are some custom made baby burp rags I made for a customer. She requested hunting themed colors and fabrics. No babies nursery would be complete without Grandma Says Burp Rag. These can all be customized with colors, fabrics and designs. I have a nice selection of Terry Cloth colors for both boys and girls. These are nicely priced at $9.00 for the burp rag and $8.00 for a bib. You will not find these at your local store-so plan ahead and let's get sewing.





Primitive Crows in the basket & Bird house Towels

These would make a great gift for the primitive at heart. The towels are terry and could be bathroom and or kitchen towels. Thanks to stephanie at http://www.heartstringsembroidery.com for a great job.


Sheep Sampler Wall-Hanging

I took this sampler embroidery design from Heartstrings embroidery and added some adorable primitive sheep fabric for the borders. I used another homespun fabric on the back to complete this cute project. This product could be grubby stained for your primitive wares/decor.
