Primitive Folk Art Pin Keep Heart Bird Strawberry primbynature

I just love the blue gray color of these fabrics

They are so easy to work with and coordinate so well together. I used to be able to get these in red as well but I have not been able to find them

I made this heart a while ago and I was playing around making different birds ~ I don’t know what kind of bird it is but I was going for a chubby chickadee shaped bird. Anyway I liked how the bird looked on top of this heart so this is the finished piece. I added a cute little strawberry in some civil war patterned fabric for a bit of interest

This piece started out as several fabrics that I absolutely adore

I used the faded cream fabric as the base and for the strawberries and the birds wings. The bird is made from some civil war reproduction fabric in the grayed blue. I sewed all 5 strawberries by hand and then added another faded blue fabric for the strawberry tops. At 12 inches tall this is a pretty impressive pin keep for the collector. It is also pretty heavy due to the rusty finished glass base it is sitting on

Both of these lovely pin keeps are available on eBay through April 23rd, 2017

Today I am offering this Primitive Autumn-Themed sewing collection. The sewing roll is a mix of cottons and wool. It is 21 inches long and 7 inches wide. The pockets on either end are a green plaid wool.  The third pocket is a striped reproduction civil war cotton.  There are 2 cotton pieces for pin and needle storage.  I added a mix of different decorative practice sampler stitching in various Autumn shades of cotton thread. There are alphabet letters, cross stitches, plus blanket, chain and feather stitches to name a few.

The two sweet little strawberries are 2 and 1/2 inches long. I made them from a combination of brown cotton and some of the green plaid wool for the caps with more decorative stitches at the seams.

I covered this small oval box with the brown cotton and a different mustard print on the inside of the box. It is 3 and 1/2 inches by 2 and 1/2 inches. It stands 1 and 1/2 inches tall with the lid. It holds a small spool of fabric some safety pins and a key.

The vintage tin cup holds a pumpkin pin keep made from some old painted feed sack. It stands 5 and 1/4 inches tall. I applied a faux rusty finish to the cup, added a real dried pumpkin stem and some moss to the pumpkin.

The under side of the sewing roll is more brown cotton with a banding made out of the same brown cotton.

This is a Prim*by*Nature original creation and will not be duplicated

Here is a new Autumn sewing collection inspired by these beautiful wool fabrics

I used some plaid wool in soft Autumn shades for the bird ~ I added some brown wool for his wings and attached them with blanket stitches

He has brown floss eyes and carries a small wool acorn from his beak. Th bird sits atop an old hog scraper. He is 7 and 3/4 inches tall and 8 inches wide

I made this cute little acorn pin keep from camel colored wool with a brown plaid wool for the cap. It is 3 inches in length and matches the small acorn carried by the bird. The decorative feather stitching on both acorns is done in brown pearl cotton

The sewing roll is done in a combination of wool and cotton fabrics ~ The plaid fabric is heavy cotton and I used it on the front and back facing and the acorn leaves that are appliqued to the middle pocket

~All other fabrics used are wool~

“Oh, The Joys of Autumn” is brown floss done in an outline stitch. I also used more feather stitching, blanket stitching and embroidery stitches to complete the project

The pumpkins, stems and crow on the pockets are all hand appliqued wool

The sewing roll folds up and has a button closure. It is 13 inches long and 5 and 3/4 inches wide. This is a Prim*by*Nature original and will not be repeated so please bid early
