Vintage Threads and Loops

Preserving our fiber history...one stitch at a time ...

Welcome to Vintage Threads and Loops!

Hello!  My name is Tammy Ruiz and I’m a fourth-generation crafter located in Western NY. 

When in my happy place, there is always some type of fiber and a needle or hook in my hand.  Through the years, I've found that my preference tends to be “unplugged” with my go-to’s being mostly all hand work such as hand quilting, punch needle, rug hooking, rug braiding, repro antique samplers and wool applique.

Having a vintage style, collecting antique items and attaching a stitched piece to them is also a fun hobby of mine.  Whether it be through creating, collecting or decorating, may you also receive as much joy preserving our fiber history!

This metal and wood antique seed scoop is the holder of a Fall pumpkin. Using Valdani variegated threads, I punched this pumpkin through a harvest gold piece of wool and finished off the back with distressed fabric. This pumpkin is affixed to the scoop with magnets; therefore, the stitched piece may be removed to use the scoop in a different way for other groupings. Dimensions: The scoop is 8" wide, 9.5" tall and 5" deep. To purchase and receive an invoice, please email me at: Tammy@VintageTandL.com Price plus travel to your home.
