A wool collar is wrapped about its neck. I’ve stitched it to a tuffet of coverlet fabric, trimmed with rusty bells. A vintage spool of thread completes the piece. A bit over nine inches tall.

USA Pinkeep

*All are SOLD* Happy 4th of July! This little pinkeep measures 5 inches by 4 inches. Printed cotton and linen towel ticking have been stitched together to form a flag. Stuffed with wool and signed by me. The lighting may not show it but all the fabrics have been over dyed for a primitive look. There are three of these little USA pinkeeps available. Each one made the same with all the same techniques but as you'd expect with a handmade item, there are little differences in the stitching. The price includes shipping.

Strawberry

***Sold! Thank you!***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 which could also be used as a pincushion. 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 $30.00 which includes shipping. Your strawberry pen wipe will be carefully packaged and promptly shipped to you.

**SOLD**Wool Punched Shamrock Pinkeep

I love how this turned out. It looks like I could have found it in a box of treasures at an antique store. The shamrock is created by rug punching with hand dyed and aged 100% wool yarn, so the variation in shades is charming. The background is an open weave linen from Scotland. The shamrock is surrounded by a wreath of cross stitches worked in cotton thread. The back is a piece of reproduction fabric and bears my signature. It is firmly stuffed with local carded wool so if using as a pinkeep, your pins will stay sharp and rust free. The height is about two inches and the circumference is almost six inches.
