November Offerings

 Welcome November! Can you believe it? Me either! Welcome to Early Work Mercantile. This month I have one little sampler, and two Shepherd-like Santas for you.  Please take a look, and thanks for visiting.

*I'm very sorry about some of the picture quality. It has been raining all morning and I have no natural light, therefore I have a few pictures from earlier this week outside (good), and some from inside this morning (not so good). Thanks!

September Goods

~"Lydia's Garden" Textile Folk Art~ This is Sold, Thank you!

If you follow my instagram stories, you know that we have a lot of deer problems and they have eaten my daughter's sunflowers down twice since July.  Now they are blooming like crazy!  We cover them every night to protect them from the deer! As I was sitting on our back porch a few days ago, I decided to do a little mat/wallhanging of her sunflowers and garden.

This stitchery is completely hand-stitched and primitively made using early and vintage textiles appliquéd together to make a picture, like a cloth painting.

It's my very favorite thing to do!

Love, love, love the colors in this one!

Tattered and torn in some places because of the age of the fabric. 

It measures 11"x 11". 

  

There are many, many stitches in this little primitive piece.

This is an original and one of a kind piece made with lots of love.  It will be signed and dated

This piece is sold, thank you!

$88.00 includes priority mail shipping
