Right Down on the Farm Pillow




This is one of my favorite pillows, it is called Right Down on the Farm. I cut out the little farm house from some dark blue work shirt my aunt had given me and the windows are white felt. The other fabrics are other cottons that had lots of other things going on with them, for instance the fence was just a cotton fabric with a rock design and the flowers are from an old skirt that was made from this fabric.
Basically you can get the idea that I used designs of different cotton fabrics, so an old shirt is no long a old shirt, part of it became a cottage and the fl
owers on the skirt because part of a garden that the sheep and cow are in, and of course they came from some old fabric I had laying around.
You can tell I love finding fabrics with a certain design on them. The pillow is filled with fiber fill and has a black fringe around it





This is the back of the pillow and you can see the fringe a little better plus the backing is an fabric I found while looking in a second hand store, one can really find some interesting fabrics and for very reasonable prices in second hand stores, this was an old cotton upholstery fabric.
The price will be $23.00 and this includes shipping within the United States, if you are outside the United States please email me at stockerpam@gmail.com

20 inch Pumpkin Bear a aged cloth doll bear



Pumpkin is a 20 cloth doll animal that's a bear, I had some light weight upholstery fabric that was orange in color and had a flower print on it.
I took my wood stain which is walnut in color and rubbed it into the fabric to make Pumpkin old like he is quite old.

Pumpkin is filled with fiber fill and has 2 small black safety eyes, I also wanted to mention that I rubbed the walnut stain on his eyes so the eyes also look older. The nose is done by hand with a cotton embroidery floss and there is a hemp bow tied around his neck.
Pumpkin really is not for small kids but the older kid in all of us that lo
ve that aged old look.
I will include shipping in the price of the bear within the United States, please contact me if you are outside of the United States. The price will be $28.00





One last look at pumpkin with the back round a dark green, it really made him stand out...
