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!

Wouldn't this be a nice pin attached to the lapel or collar of your sweater or winter coat?? Or, it could be pinned to a book bag or project bag for the Winter season. This pin would also be a nice gift to enclose into a greeting card or take to the host of someone's home you will be visiting. This piece is a candle print which was transferred onto duck's cloth and then I frayed all four sides of the fabric. The fabric is then secured under a beveled glass, a birch backing covered with newspaper print was used to finish the back. The front and back of the pin is wrapped with copper and then I added a finish to create a patina/vintage look. To complete the project, I then added a pin bar to the back. This pin measures 1.5" x 1.5" square. Price: $22.50 + travel. To purchase, please email me at: Tammy@VintageTandL.com More designs to come......watch this site for additional pins. Thank you for looking, ~~ Tammy
