Greetings!
Strawberry
Season has arrived early here on Winding Vine. I think that this is the
earliest that I have ever harvested ripe berries from my tiny city plot. I’ve
already picked over two pounds and even made some divine Strawberry Cheesecake Lush!
Strawberry Season has also inspired this month’s offerings…
My
first offering is “Strawberry Season” Thread Board based on a design by Country
Rustic Primitives. This piece is both lovely to display and useful. I added
amber mother of pearl rings for holding threads on one side. On one ring I have
tied on a sweet tiny little velvet and wool strawberry emery complete with
black pin “seeds”. You could easily tie it to a pair of sewing scissors as a
fob, if you like.
On the back I included an army green wool heart pocket for
embroidery scissors (not included) and a brown ribbon tie to keep them safe and
secure. There is also a red and army green wool strawberry needle and pin keep
complete with back pin “seeds”. It has a base of thin mat board, so that it is
stiff and can be propped up on a shelf or table.
It measures approximately 5.5
inches by 8 inches (not including the rings) and is completely handsewn.
~*Sold. Thank you ever so much!*~
Antique
Strawberry Patch is a Winding Vine Designs original one of a kind creation. It
is a cluster of five strawberries each made of some of my favorite antique
fabrics. The strawberries are completely handsewn. It measures approximately 12
inches when hanging with the biggest berries “weighing in” at 2 by 3 inches and
the smallest at 1 by 2 inches. They are tied together with vintage seam binding
ribbon and an antique mother of pearl buckle.
~*Sold. Thank you ever so much!*~
I’ve
made two pinch pockets this month as well. Both are made from vintage fabrics –
a gauzy white window valance panel and an embroidered table cloth. These pinch
pockets are perfect for a small spool of thread, a small pair of embroidery
scissors, and even a few other notions. They each measure approximately 4
inches across and 3 inches tall. Items are stored safely inside until you
gently press the two corners together to open.
The pinch pockets are lined with
coordinating wool.
As with all of my offerings, they are completely handsewn.
These Vintage Strawberry Pinch Pockets are offered at $25 each.
~*Both are sold. Thank you ever so much!*~
