Small quilt. (Fundraiser for local food bank)

Sold BUT taking orders. I wanted to do something to help with all the many needs our communities have at this time. To that end, the purchase price of this little quilt will be directly sent to my local food bank. I wanted you to know that your purchase will be helping those in need of a little extra help right now in my community. I am taking orders if this one is sold before you get to it. Just contact me through email if interested. With a nod to our stay at home orders, and fears and uncertainty, I designed a little doll quilt featuring an angel watching over a home. The words say “Angels watch over thee.” The design is stitched by hand with a combination of appliqué and primitive cross stitch. The fabrics have been dyed to add a vintage charm. The areas surrounding the design have been quilted with cotton thread. The quilt will be signed by me on the back. It measures 10.5 inches by 14 inches. I am kindly asking $65 which includes shipping. Be well!

Heart & Mitten Pillow

I love this piece. It combines so many things that I love that I'm hoping you'll love too. Let's start with the red striped old linen towel used so many times it was wrought with holes so I carefully cut a large mitten shape and then I primly embroidered a heart on it. "Hands to work, Hearts to God" but in the winter, well, it needs to be a mitten. The mitten was primly stitched to one of my favorite civil war repro cotton prints. It's stuffed with cotton batting and scraps of cotton so it has a wonderful primitive look and feel. Measures about 9" x 6". Kindly asking $40 and this includes shipping. The pillow will be carefully packaged and put in the post after payment is received.
