Just a Pumpkin!

Photobucket


Well this is the end of my Fall Offerings for the year, as sad as it!
Although I may have a few Thanksgiving pieces yet! It is time to turn my designing thoughts to Christmas! This is a very simple lone pumpkin that I needle punched and put in this small old oval frame. It is metal and someone painted it a burnt rusty lumpy orange color which compliments the pumpkin nicely. I did my punching on weavers cloth with Valdani floss and then coffee dyed it. The original small clasp ring is on the back for hanging. The frame measures 7 1/2"w x 51/2"L.

Have the Happy Fall and Harvest blessings!

Primitive Pumpkin Trio

Photobucket




I really enjoyed making up these sweet pumpkins, it was quite a change for me! I used a pattern from Country Stitches for the pumpkins and then added my own finishing touches on each one of them. They were made from osnaburg, stuffed with poly fil, then painted a wonderful burnt orange and then buffed with brimwax. I used twigs from my yard for the stems, added some rusty metal leaves, raffia, homespun, rusty curled wire, dried wheat stem, some natural cornstalk and primitive Fall hang tags. They look really cute grouped all together or your could divide them up and sit them around the house. The largest measures from top of stem 10"high x 7"wide, the medium is 7" high x 5" wide and the smallest is 5"x5".

Primitive Flag Bowl & Filler Set

I have had this red and white ticking for some time now and thought it would make such cute little bowl filler pillows. I sewed up 3 of them, each one has a different blue and star swatch in the corner and all three are backed with a navy flannel. I stuffed them each with crushed walnut shells for a nice heavier feel and then stained them up and attached an aged "usa" crow hang tag by rusty bells and rusty safety pins tied with pieces of dyed cheese cloth. The next part I think you'll like, I did the shopping for you and this wonderful bowl is included! I found it at a my favorite primitive shop. It is an off white crackled bowl and measures about 9". Also while I was at the shop I came across this really neat vine. Its called Angel Hair Vine and I had never seen it before and I snatched it up. I just love it! The little pillows measure a tiny 4 1/2" wide x 2 1/2" long. Now for once I can say bowl and vine included and not just for display. I think you will easily find a spot for this charming Americana arrangement!
