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!
For your consideration is this accent spool lamp. This lamp is comprised of a large antique spool with seven threaded antique spools surrounding the large spool, secured by a ribbon and topped with the lampshade. This lamp measures 20 1/2" tall and the base measures 5 3/4" wide.

Completely assembled and stitched by hand, this square wool penny mat makes 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. Shipping will be added upon purchase.
Payment method: Venmo, please.

This round table mat has been hand-appliqued using a wool-blend fabric to create a 'puckered/aged' look. With a 14" outside diameter and the center orange circle measuring 4", this Fall piece makes a nice candle mat, a centerpiece on your table or it may be used under a hot dish on your table.

This pumpkin mat ate all of her veggies growing up.....she is large, measuring a full 22" in diameter!!
The outer-most fabric is a mottled cotton and the scalloped black background is black wool. All the pumpkins and leaves are 100% wool and the details have been hand-embroidered. For the back of this piece, I chose a cotton fabric that has a distressed orange/rust background with faded leaves. You can flip this mat over and use the reverse side as a second option! She was a true joy to stitch!

This simple "1803" cross stitch sampler was stitched on a slightly distressed/aged linen. The professional finish is in an 16"W x 12.5"H ridged wooden frame (no glass) and enclosed on the back side with a wire hanger. From my home to yours, what type of grouping will you choose for this piece?
