Greetings! The
month devoted to Love is here! My offerings this month are inspired by
beautiful antique wool paisley that I recently received. And these hearts don’t
shout Valentine’s Day, but rather can be enjoyed all year long…
My
first offering is “Love Never Fails” Thread Board based on a design by The
Primitive Hare. This piece is both lovely to display and useful. I added amber mother
of pearl rings for holding threads on one side.
On the back I included an army
green wool pocket for embroidery scissors (not included) and a brown ribbon tie
to keep them safe and secure. There is also a burgundy wool hand with antique
paisley heart needle and pin keep. The front is complimented by the antique
wool paisley and an antique key. 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 6
inches by 6 inches (not including the rings) and is completely handsewn.
“Love
Never Fails” Thread Board is offered at $49.
I’ve
made a pinch pocket this month as well – with my own heart and hand motif. This
pinch pocket is perfect for a small spool of thread, a small pair of embroidery
scissors, and even a few other notions. It measures 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 pocket is backed with the same antique
wool paisley as is featured on the thread board and is lined with the same army
green wool. As with all of my offerings, it is completely handsewn.

My
next offerings are Antique Paisley Hearts.

with a thick batting front that can be used for a pincushion. It is backed with
an army green wool and a burgundy heart pocket for embroidery scissors (not
included) and a brown ribbon tie.
Heart #2 measures 3.5 by 4.5 inches with
antique paisley on the front and back. It is lined with brown tweed wool and
forms a scissor pouch. A brown ribbon and antique shoe button form the closure.

I also have a few other heart items looking for a new home.

to God” measures approximately 6 by 7 inches. It is based on an old Stacy Nash
design with a few added motifs. It includes an antique glass headed pin holding
a stack of antique buttons. It is backed with an antique quilt square. Signed
and dated by me in 2008.
