Primitive Folk Art Ornies BEAUTIFUL Sun STARS


Beautiful and very prim set of 3 ornies/tucks. I made these to portray very vital
and beautiful elements. A sun, 4"x6". Separate face stitched on, with hand painted
features.

Prim dull yellow spikes surround this darling. Next is a 7"x7" star, also
primmed and with a hand painted face. Navy blue little doo dads in each star corner.

Finally, a navy blue prim painted 7"x7" star with a separate muslin heart stitched
on.

The word "Peace" embroidred in black floss. All are made of muslin. They are
very different, and to me, mean the light of love, and the peace of night. hope you
do like them as well! All filled with new poly fil and signed by me as well. Sprinkled with German glass glitter for a magical effect.
Vanilla/cinnamon scented.

Americana Star Nodder/Make-Do/Pin Keep.


Welcome to my auction!
Up for auction I have this wonderful Americana Star Nodder/Make-Do/Pin Keep.
It is approx. 9 3/4 inches tall x 8 1/4 inches wide. I have attached it to a rusty bedspring.

The star is made fro red ticking. I attached a strip of dark navy blue with small stars material using big primitive stitches to the front of the star.

I then, using the same manner for the navy rectangle, layered a muslin
strip in which the letters U.S.A. are embroidered in black floss on top of the strip of navy material.
It has been stained, baked and rubbed with a little of my special spice mixture. There is also a rusty safety pin attached to the
front of the star.

I have also included on of my grubby hang tags ( 4 1/2 x 2 1/4 inches) with a nice patriotic
picture of some fire crackers, a drum and trumpet. This Nodder will be a delightful addition to an Americana or Patriotic
collection. It can stand alone or be tucked in among your other primitives. The idea's are endless.

Primitive Folk Art Raggedy Doll Mother Stitchery


Well, I did manage to make a Mother's Day dolly, though I nearly ran out of time! LOL! This will be a shorter auction so you can still get her in time for Mothers Day.

Annie measures 23" head to toes and made from stained muslin. She wears a burgundy, navy and tan plaid homespun dress with a drop waist and little gathered sleeves. The bloomers are a neat tonal mustard Honey & Me cotton print with prim stars and little curly Q's.

Her collar is aged muslin with primitive stitchin' around the edge. All the hems on her dress and bloomers have a nice finished edge and all clothing has been stained. Her face is primly hand stitched on and her hair is barn red wavy wool yarn stitched into pigtails with a ragbow on each side.

I gave her head a slight tilt to give her a sweet look. Her arms are string jointed, so they will move up and down. Her leggings and mary jane shoes are painted on in prim fashion, then sanded and stained. Her feet have a more 3-dimensional look to them. I gave her a boxed bottom and weighted it gently so she will sit nicely. I also gave her a sturdy loop in her back if you prefer to hang her for display instead. She will come to you signed and dated by me.

The stitchery I wanted to resemble a miniature wall hanging quilt. It measures 9" tall and a little over 8" wide. It reads "Mother. . . . A person hand chosen by God that shows unending love and compassion to the miracle He blessed you with that lasts a lifetime". The border around the stitchery is matching homespun and the "quilt" backing is a different coordinating navy, burgundy and tan cotton homespun. I did some hand stitching on both sides of the seam all the way around. It has been stained for an aged look. I am also including the wire heart hanger to go with it. The quilt has heavy cotton thread loops in the back that tie to the hanger for display and can be removable if you wish. The hanger measures 7 1/2 " tall and 7 1/4" wide.
Annie was made using a Sweetmeadowsfarm pattern and the stitchery was made using a pattern from Twigs-n-Sprigs.
My dollies are "pretties" for adult decoration only and not intended to be a children's toy.
