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!
SOLD: THANK YOU!!
This hand-stitched Wool Square Penny Mat measures large at 21" square and is big!! She would make a wonderful addition to an antique table or on the back of an upholstered piece of furniture. Completely comprised of 100% wool, this mat consists of 36 (triple) sets of wool pennies that have been buttonhole stitched together, then the penny stacks are buttonhole stitched to a black scalloped wool background, which is stitched to a mustard background and finally the mat is stitched to a black wool background. To complete this mat, the reverse side is finished off with a solid black backing.
For added interest, each outer corner has been dog-eared/folded forward and attached with buttons. Price plus $9.00 shipping.

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.
