{ Summerfield and Sawdust }

As promised, but maybe a little late ~

Here is my new

"SUMMERFIELD"

cross stitch design ~

( I personally love this one.)

 

Summerfield by Notforgotten Farm©

top-hatted Ladye, sweet sheep, beeskep & bees...lots of sunflowers too ~

 

 I decided to finish this into a larger sawdust-stuffed pillow and backed it with a mix of 4 coordinating repro civil war era fabrics in shades of orange/mustard/yellow ochre ~

 

model was stitched by Felicia Martin onto my 30ct. Old Farmhouse Linen©
with DMC threads, one strand over two threads.

 

stitch count is 142w x 115h

 

the finished pillow is approx. 7 1/2" x 10"

 

 

~ simple patched backing with hand stitching ~

 of course,

you could finish this however you prefer ~

 

...and we are selling our home-milled sawdust too!
a by-product of our OLD as Dirt Primitives line of wooden ware for the needleworker ~

 

I use this as filling for all of my pillows and pinkeeps...
i love the dense-ness of this sawdust ~

which is less 'dust' and more like small wood shavings...

 

 



Sawdust from Notforgotten Farm

4 cups-full in a brown paper bag for $5.00

(the pillow above has approx 8 cups in it but how dense yours will be depends entirely on you)

 

 

brown paper packages,......old time goodness.

 

the SUMMERFIELD pattern is available in our ETSY shop,

along with our own organic,

non-treated sawdust ~

 

let me know what you think my Friends ~

 ~ Have a wonderful peaceful Sunday!
