    About this ebook

    Share in the creative outpouring a ratty old quilt inspired to craft rustic and earthy projects from a pincushion to a hooked rug.

    Primitive artist Maggie Bonanomi discovered a great old quilt. She marveled, played and let her mind wander. This book is the result. She’s created an exciting new quilt, which inspired a pile of matching pillows. Her Thistle Down Moon mat and rug designs sprung from memories of summer nights riding bikes with her sister.

    She’s also designed sewing accessories: a sewing case, pincushion, a wall-hung sewing necessity, a handy pocket and a necklace.

    Primitive home decorators are not forgotten—besides the quilt and pillows, you’ll find a table runner, a cross-stitch sampler and penny-topped stools. There’s even a multipurpose butcher’s apron.

    Maggie’s well never runs dry. Enjoy her latest creations, 19 in all.

      Thistle Down Moon - Maggie Bonanomi

      Introduction

      For this book, brown was my color of choice - black too. The projects all fell into place once I found this great old quilt. I used many scraps from that quilt. It was in awful shape, but it had a great backing that I tried to recreate, as well as some quilting that would make the most dedicated quilter shudder. I loved it. The book includes some wool projects, but also quite a few of cotton and linen, and a quilt that I love. Any of the projects can be made with wool - just remember to omit the seam allowances for the appliqué.

      Recently I went to hear a couple of authors at our local bookstore. They said their stories and characters often take off on a direction of their own. Now I don’t equate my books with theirs, but I have had projects that went in a whole different direction than I had originally envisioned.

      THE THISTLE DOWN MOON WOOL MAT provides the name for this book. It can be a wall mat or pillow. It was really made for my hubby – which is a little tease, as he is very serious about his yard.

      THE THISTLE DOWN HOOKED RUG was inspired by the wool mat of the same name. It is a design that needs to be hooked.

      ANNA OF BELLINGHAM was an old sampler I found in Iowa. The simplicity spoke to me, but even more, Anna and I shared the same last name: Cook. That was my maiden name (now doesn’t that term sound so old fashioned?). The date of 1812 was pretty wonderful too.

      MY THINK-OF-ME HEART SEWING CASE is a special project. I like to include something that can be used as a friendship gift. It holds a few essentials, but you can also pin on some old ribbon you found, or a string of old buttons, and make it even more special.

      I found this OLD VELVET PINCUSHION at an antique shop. I have made it before. It is so easy and the variations are endless. The large one is cotton velvet: the small one is homespun.

      MY SWEET VELVET PEAPOD PINKEEP went to France with me. I taught this project there, but after some nudging, I added it here. It is cute, quick and easy.

      Enjoying the preview?
