rugs the ones in this post have been listed on ebay posted by thistle house primitives at 10 21 am 2 comments friday february 10 2012 wool of a different kind i usually work with wool fabric to make appliqué pieces but i ve been wanting to try this project for awhile you use 100 wool sweaters that have been felted ruined by putting them in the washer and dryer you may have a shrunken sweater in your closet or one you d like to repurpose i found several that had been felted unintentionally i m sure at my local thrift shop this 100 wool sweater from the gap was just 3 00 i used a pattern and instructions from a post on make dogirl com the pattern makes a large pair of mittens i was able to get an adult size and a child size pair from one sweater another sweater yielded several adult pairs and enough left over for a turtle neck sweater for my little dog posted by thistle house primitives at 1 09 pm 2 comments thursday february 2 2012 primitive hearts been busy sewing up some hearts for ebay someday i ll have to make one for myself the prices are low these days but i enjoy sewing during my free time no matter the profit this one is currently on ebay posted by thistle house primitives

my mother s house we call emelie s room we have no emelies in our family but an 1800 s memorial sampler hangs on the wall in that guest room my mother came across this sampler many years ago at a sale and had to adopt it i admit some of us were a little creeped out at first sleeping in a room with a picture of a dead girl surrounded by pieces of her hair but my sisters and i have come to love little emelie and can only imagine the heartache her mother endured the sampler reads god bless my dear child emelie born nov third 1872 died aug third 1881 absent but not forgotten we often wondered who emelie was where she was from and what could have caused her death before reaching the age of 9 my youngest sister went on a mission to solve the mystery she found the photographer s name on the back of emelie s photo found the town found the names of her parents emelie was from a small town in kansas there was no cause of death or burial place listed for emilie the curator of the town museum told my sister that in 1881 a traveling salesman had exposed some residents to small pox that may have been what caused little emilie s death but we do not know for certain some day i think it would be nice to return emelie to the town where she was born perhaps the museum would like to have the sampler or there is a descendant who would take watch over little emelie but for now she has her own room and she is absent but not forgotten below are some links about memorial samplers you may find interesting remembering those we love art of mourning mourning samplers posted by thistle house
