Hello Autumn

 

It was a super busy summer....the retreat barn is up and running and we had several retreats here at the farm.  It has been a blessing having so many ladies come from all over the USA and we have loved having each and everyone! 

 

Frank Bielec (yes, he was on Trading Spaces) is a wonderful primitive folk artist and he has graciously allowed me to turn his artwork into needle punched, applique, and rug hooked pieces.  I am working on putting together some of his designs and offering them as patterns.

 

The one above is called

PEACE ON EARTH

so far I have a sample and pattern made for needle punch and I am working on one for wool applique.

If you are interested the patterns will be in my Etsy shop or you can email me if you would like to purchase one.

 

This one is a table mat called

Winter Time

It is about 18" across and is done with wool and is very easy to make.

 

Over The Hills of Snow is a needle punch book that holds your scissors, pins, and needles

It is needle punched on the front and has wool applique on the inside!

 

Matilda is a whimsical happy little witch and is a fun wall hanging.

 

 

I have been missing from blogging as summer was so very busy!  The grandkiddos are growing up so fast.  Sloan is now 9 years old and loves playing kid pitch baseball and is the catcher for his team.  He loves it!  Eva Mae has started full day pre-school and is 4 1/2 years old and has the most beautiful blue eyes you ever saw.  She loves school and playing on the playground.  Little Betty Rae is 2 1/2 and is going to preschool for a couple of hours a week and knows all her ABC's and thinks she can do anything Sloan and Eva can and of course she tries it all.  Can you tell MoMo loves those grandkiddos and might be a bit partial.

 

Our days here on this earth are so very short....it's like a whisper and before you know it a year is gone and then another and another.  Hug those near and dear to you, hop of the couch and go outside and play, smile at those who look grumpy who knows you just might brighten their day!

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  Check back soon I hope to share a free pattern!

Needle Punch Christmas Ornaments

Lots of things going on around here. Pati and I have been working on lots of new patterns and making samples. Here are some of the new Christmas ones I have made kits for.

We are using hand dyed wool thread and they are turning out so nice. They look like tiny hand hooked pieces but they have been needle punched.



Kits with cameo medium needles with instruction booklets, weavers cloth, a lip lock embroidery hoop, reusuable pattern with color photo and wool thread to complete 3 ornaments are included in this pack. We have them listed over at our Etsy shop with FREE SHIPPING.



If you are already a "puncher" we also have kits available with weavers cloth, pattern, and wool thread.

This is just a sample of some of the kits and patterns we will be making for our adventure next year!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you are enjoying your week....they say cooler days are on the way this week for Oklahoma it's a time to celebrate :)

Slowly but surely I'm getting things to come together. I have two of the many patterns ready and we are offering them as paper patterns with a color photo. The patterns may be reduced or enlarged to fit your projects.





If your interested in purchasing one of our patterns you can find them in our Etsy shoppe
or on our selling blog Prairie Moon Primitives.

The price of each pattern is $7.95 with Free Shipping.


With the hot and dry days we have been staying in much of the day. The heat just takes any energy right out of you. Sloan and I have been playing card and board games while Eva Mae sleeps.



He thought he might be big enough to help feed her and he insisted on helping to make her bottle. One of these days a long time from now he will make a great dad! Until then he will just help take care of his little cousin!
