Americana Stitcheries...

Last summer I was in a very low point creatively and fell back on some old favorites...prim stitching on prairie cloth...didn't use a chart or draw anything out...just made it up as I went along...these are just of a few of the many small pieces I did...have to make little pinkeeps from the rest...are perfect for tucking in bowls or on doll laps...


They are all walnut stained, backed with plaid wool and stuffed with snippets and scraps of wool...keeps pins and needles from rusting and give a nice heavy, lumpy feel to finished piece.
