Some how things didn't get saved from my post last
month...so, I'm adding them to the end of this month
just in case you missed it!
EMILY HOLT QUILT SAMPLER
I got a little more creative with finishing of this sampler
designed by HomeSpunPrims by Lori.
The sampler was stitched on 32 count linen.
It was then bordered with 3 rows of quilting fabric
with many Civil War reproductions pieces from my stash.
The quilt sampler was hand quilted on 2 of the 3 borders.
The backing is a coordinated brown. The edge binding just
pulls all the colors of the fabrics together.
I did put a dated signature block on the back.
The size of the quilt sampler is 22.5" wide and 12.5" high.
This would be a great addition to a desk top or your favorite
antique table.

CABIN AT NIGHT WOOLY ROUND CONTAINER
I'm happy to bring to you my first creation of 2021.
It's January, you know that month where we decide to exercise,
clean out and organize. Or maybe, you had enough of that last year!
Why not organize in something beautiful!?!
This wool applique of a cabin at night has
been completely hand stitched.
I added touches of embroidery here and there for interest...
like the wreath on the door and the candles in the windows!
The wooly top has been affixed to the lid of
the paper mache container.
It has slight padding to give it a dome shape.
I added the rope trim to the edge for a bold look.
The coordinated fabric is outside and
inside the container. It has been distressed,
not necessarily to make it look old but
so it's not brand spankin" new!
The size of this wooly container is 7.75"
in diameter and 5" tall.
CABIN IN THE WOODS WOOLY CONTAINER
$125 plus shipping and insurance to you.
Until next month...
Hugs,
Carol
