The
heart of summer is almost here ~ the 4th of July is just days
away! Parades, Picnics and Fireworks – so all-American! Patriotic red, white and
blue have inspired this month’s offerings…
Recently I acquired a wonderful red and blue
cross stitched antique table cloth. I love the peacocks, flowers and other
motifs cross stitched upon it. My first offering is “Patriotic Peacock” Thread
Board. This piece is both lovely to display and useful. I added mother of pearl
rings for holding threads on one side.
On
the back I included a red, cream and blue wool heart pocket for embroidery
scissors (not included) and a patriotic ribbon tie to keep them safe and
secure. There is also a needle and pin keep of the same patriotic wool. 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 4 inches by 5 inches (not including the
rings) and is completely handsewn.
“Patriotic Peacock” Thread Board is offered
at $45.

I’ve made two pinch pockets from the same
wonderful antique table cloth. One side has a peacock, one side has red and
blue embroidery and one side has red flowers. 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 (the same as the backing of the thread board). As with all of my
offerings, they are completely handsewn.
These Patriotic Peacock Pinch Pockets
are offered at $25 each.

My
final offering is a large strawberry pinkeep from a Kay Cloud pattern. It
measures a big 5 by 7 inches not including the stem. The berry is made of a
vintage rayon velvet with an army
blanket wool cap and stem. The seeds are black headed pins, so it is ready for
use! It is stuffed with a combination of cotton and crushed walnut shells for a
nice weight, but not too heavy. The big strawberry is completely handsewn.
“Big
Berry” is offered at $40.
