Found this while sorting old models.

Crows in black on red

I found this red fabric and coffee stained it to "dull" it down a little. I wanted it to look primitive, which is why the words were free handed rather than written on piece to stitch.

Button Christmas Decor

Here is a lazy daze way to make Christmas decor. I painted a canvas black then outlined a tree. I glued the buttons into the shape and Ta-da!!!

This too, very easy. The back ground is scrap book paper and the buttons are glued on! How super simple!

Angel doll with clay wings

One of my angel dolls. I wish I had more time to experiment with clay arms and legs. The wings were hearts cut out of red clay.

A picture of the fabric I found today while folding fabric. The name is "Paris in Spring" was made in the 1950's. I have 2 yards, but how could I ever cut this?

Kindred Spirits

There is something that is so special about having your own business that nothing can match. That is meeting and getting to know special people that come as strangers and then take up residence in your heart. For me that describes a friend from Florida, Betty Johnson, that has become a true friend/kindred spirit. I don't know how many years ago we met, but every September Betty flys into Iowa to visit her brothers and always finds time to stop and visit us. We moved across the state but found a place to meet in Kalona, Iowa where we look at fabric, discuss patterns, talk buttons and laugh. We always finish with a meal at the Amish Bakery. We part and go back to our work and look forward to the next year. Thank you Betty for being you.

Feedsack Dress

 

The little doll bed was a labor of LOVE. It is made out of a cigar box, the legs are wooden spools, painted. I cut the feedsack with pinking shears and glued them on to cigar box.

The doll blanket is stitched out of authentic feedsack.

More Feedsack!

Here is a whole feedsack. They would peel the paper off, open up the sack and cut out their dress pattern. How exciting it would of been for new feedsack!
