Needfuls

Strawberry Pen Wipe

Pen wipes were common desk items in vintage times when dip and fountain pens were used. Fashioned with a decoration the base was used to blot the pen before writing. They were often given as gifts. I'm offering a strawberry pen wipe. All made from hand dyed wools. The base is made of three layers of wool shaped like a leaf and stitched together by hand. Sitting on top the green leaves is a red strawberry with green cap and stem with hand stitched black "seeds" in an "x" pattern all over. The berry is stuffed with wool. The leaves measure about 6 x 4". The berry is about 3" long, not including the stem. I'm kindly asking $35.00 which includes shipping.

The purse is 5" long and 4" at the widest point. Click on the main photo for more images. Kindly asking $57.00 and $5.50 for postage. Thanks for looking!

Primitive Doll Quilt SOLD Thank you!

Primitive Doll Quilt in blues and creams. Just like a young girl learning her sewing skills, the seams don’t match and the corners aren’t square but that’s just part of the charm of this aged and primly done piece. All visible stitching is done by hand, the fabric has been aged with pin pricks, worn out seams, and over dying for some appropriate age. The fabrics are a mix of old Feedsack solid and civil war era repro printed cottons. In keeping with 1800’s quilting traditions, the backing fabric is folded to the front and stitched down to form the binding. 9x13” Shipping is included with the price. Please contact me with any questions.
