As the leaves fall lots of changes are being made. Silver Dollar City was a great adventure and I have to say I really enjoyed visiting with all the folks that came by the booth.<br />
<br />
I will be keeping up with the <a href="http://www.primitivesbythelightofthemoon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Primitives By The Light Of the Moon blog</a> and hope that you will find your way over. I plan to add lots of tutorials and free doodles as time allows. <br />

Pati Jane stitched up this wonderful pictorial penny rug. I drew up the simple little farm animals, house, moon, and farm wife and husband. She did a great job on making it look olde and love how the ballot bag turned out after dyeing. It looks so much like Oklahoma Red Dirt!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A fun and easy way to add a little dimension to a hooked piece is simply by rolling strips of wool onto each other. They make the most wonderful flowers, eyes, swirls in sheep, and leaves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Excuse the farmgirl hands....they get used everyday*</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am hooking a pumpkin mat and used a dark orange and black for the eyes. You can shape your wool into triangles, tear drops, circles, ovals, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center">
Start by selecting your wools you can use two strips or even more as shown in the very first picture where I had three strips.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uJtol-znEM0/UWWcEwwIayI/AAAAAAAAAW8/Y4UFGpCGirw/s1600/IMG_3285.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uJtol-znEM0/UWWcEwwIayI/AAAAAAAAAW8/Y4UFGpCGirw/s320/IMG_3285.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simple begin rolling the wool around each other.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JqyTzB5xKq0/UWWcJuFcfMI/AAAAAAAAAXE/ukb-2a2LEz8/s1600/IMG_3287.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JqyTzB5xKq0/UWWcJuFcfMI/AAAAAAAAAXE/ukb-2a2LEz8/s320/IMG_3287.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Continue until you have the size you would like and cut off the remaining strips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YyH3ouWTUZ0/UWWcLsVDE8I/AAAAAAAAAXM/l4LC15BB0Es/s1600/IMG_3289.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YyH3ouWTUZ0/UWWcLsVDE8I/AAAAAAAAAXM/l4LC15BB0Es/s320/IMG_3289.JPG" height="320" width="228" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With a needle and thread run stitches back and forth on the outside wool strip going from one side through the center to the outside. Repeat around until it is secure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jj2SVpuOyOg/UWWcNVPn5uI/AAAAAAAAAXU/BB_XNT_RluQ/s1600/IMG_3290.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jj2SVpuOyOg/UWWcNVPn5uI/AAAAAAAAAXU/BB_XNT_RluQ/s320/IMG_3290.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to do about 4 to 5 stitches through mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next just lay it down on your project and sew through the background material. Add several stitches until it is stable. You will hook right up to the piece that you stitched on.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GVOKztm1CTw/UWWcRagXypI/AAAAAAAAAXs/naTuscvXdcc/s1600/IMG_3297.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GVOKztm1CTw/UWWcRagXypI/AAAAAAAAAXs/naTuscvXdcc/s320/IMG_3297.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a flower with a little texture I took the edge of a a piece of wool that was a bit ruffled.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fLpBrgkRWcI/UWWcSiGL8iI/AAAAAAAAAX0/i0WJkOwwgR0/s1600/IMG_3298.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fLpBrgkRWcI/UWWcSiGL8iI/AAAAAAAAAX0/i0WJkOwwgR0/s320/IMG_3298.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Added another wool edge from the red. I did trim up the edge just a bit since it was a little too raggedy for my liking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zKrEVf8XXIM/UWWcUPibHnI/AAAAAAAAAX8/sHrVDRjUfs0/s1600/IMG_3301.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zKrEVf8XXIM/UWWcUPibHnI/AAAAAAAAAX8/sHrVDRjUfs0/s320/IMG_3301.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Roll the two pieces together and you have a very nice textured flower.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QY8_80JBtx0/UWWcWM_9ssI/AAAAAAAAAYE/zqHLwRPWxgM/s1600/IMG_3302.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QY8_80JBtx0/UWWcWM_9ssI/AAAAAAAAAYE/zqHLwRPWxgM/s320/IMG_3302.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For easy quick leaves just pinch together and sew tighter at one end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe these little pieces will make their way into a small hooked bouquet! If you haven't already tried this technique give it a try it adds a little extra dimension to your piece and is very quick and easy to do!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My daughter~in~law is helping her niece with her wedding and wanted some western style yet vintage pennants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She asked if I could help and I thought I would share how easy it is to do!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now you could use fabric of your choice and make some really fun pennants. She wanted burlap and a vintage style fabrics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-glajrsv5OK8/UWOa7ZClFpI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/m2pfnbhLMxM/s1600/IMG_3256.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-glajrsv5OK8/UWOa7ZClFpI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/m2pfnbhLMxM/s320/IMG_3256.JPG" height="164" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gather supplies...heat n' bond or wonder under, fabric, burlap, sharpie, template, scissors, big eye needle, jute, sewing machine, ruler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gjwwayeoo3U/UWOa968sOXI/AAAAAAAAAUY/Lg9BTdfGrlo/s1600/IMG_3257.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gjwwayeoo3U/UWOa968sOXI/AAAAAAAAAUY/Lg9BTdfGrlo/s320/IMG_3257.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 2 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut heat n' bond slightly smaller than fabric. Lay fabric wrong side up on ironing table.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a5Cr_bKC5Lo/UWOa_byuxXI/AAAAAAAAAUg/RXxlGcXi1AM/s1600/IMG_3258.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a5Cr_bKC5Lo/UWOa_byuxXI/AAAAAAAAAUg/RXxlGcXi1AM/s320/IMG_3258.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Iron heat n' bond onto fabric with paper side up using NO steam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trace letters onto fabric backwards. Once cut it will be right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have an accuquilt cutter alphabet then cut your letters out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happily Ever After, Here Comes The Bride, Cards...just some of the ones I cut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 5</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Drink a large iced tea and admire your letters!</div>

Step 6 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Double the burlap and draw around the pennant template with a sharpie. You want your pennant to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
be stable so you will be doing them with a double thickness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 10</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Measure down from top of pennant how far you want letters to be.</div>

<br />
<div align="center">
Step 12</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Lay out pennants with ironed on letters in order.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 13</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thread needle with jute leaving a long tail for hanging later. Start with the last letter in the pennants...mine says CARDS so I started with S.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In right hand top corner insert jute go across to center and come up with jute to front then about 3 holes later go back through to back. Come back up to front side at left corner.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 14</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thread each pennant letter leaving enough of a tail on both ends for tying later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can embellish with buttons, lace, ribbons use different fabrics, pictures. They could be square, rectangle, oval, or a circle....actually the possibilities are endless.</div>

This is the piece I am working on once again. It is 3 foot by 5 foot and I'm just about to get it hooked. Just like a corner and the border. It's going to be a booger to bind! It is a pattern by Pine Island Primitives. </div>

Sometimes you just need a quick little tag and if your a primitive kind of gal like me then these are super quick and very easy to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will need some blank hang tags, string, permanent ink pad, stamps, gloves, spray bottle, and a dye mixture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lay out your tags on a surface you don't mind getting stained. An old table cloth will do or a piece of fabric you don't mind getting stained.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can mix together a strong mixture of coffee or tea add in some vanilla, cinnamon or whatever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mixture is walnut crystals, vanilla, and cinnamon. I've had it mixed up for a long time and it still smells good.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Flip them over and you will repeat again on the other side.</div>

I sprayed my ball of twine. It doesn't soak all the way through but I get enough to do what tags I'm working on and it dries fairly quickly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is one of the tags close up. Wear those gloves you don't want your hands looking blotchy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crinkle up a few tags and try that for a slightly different look.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8328mWlAy08/UVmjyWSK3lI/AAAAAAAAAO4/eNpCs9RfXJo/s1600/IMG_3133.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8328mWlAy08/UVmjyWSK3lI/AAAAAAAAAO4/eNpCs9RfXJo/s320/IMG_3133.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They flatten right out. No need for an oven but if your in a hurry just place your tags on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Heat the oven to 200 degrees and bake for just a couple of minutes...don't leave unattended! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grab some of your stamps and ink pad once your tags are dry.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stamp, stamp, stamp...add some of the string and there you go....super quick and easy!</div>

My wooly worms seem to multiple. They are all different cuts ranging from a #6 to #8.5.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a simple way to use up a few and have a scrappy chair pad once you are done.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I grabbed a pizza circle or perhaps you could use a plate or whatever you have that is round in the size you would like. Just draw around the circle on to your linen or monks cloth.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hook around your circle first then come back and hook some squiggly lines from the center out to the border. I did mine in black and brown.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simply start following the shape of the squiggly lines adding some on one side and the other within that section. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A few weeks ago Pati and I made up a pictorial penny rug. I drew out some very simple objects and cut them out of wool. I had a few pieces of old flower sacks and we each took one along with our wool pieces. I made a table mat out of mine and added a little tag saying Our Homestead 1862.</div>

Well it was just too bright of a white for me so what else to do but grab the Rit Tan Dye! I quickly grabbed a few more things to distress and went to work.</div>

I filled a roasting pan I use for <strong>dyeing only </strong>with water and heated it until it was nice and warm. You don't want it boiling. I added about 1/2 bottle of rit tan dye (it's all that I had, more about that later) to the pan along with about 1/4 cup of vinegar to set the color. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I placed in more pieces and punched them down with a wooden spoon that I only use for dyeing. I did not stir my pieces I wanted a mottled effect.</div>

Once I felt like they had soaked in enough dye I removed them and rinsed until the water ran clear.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meanwhile back to the dye bath. Out of rit dye and ready to do a few more pieces you just make do with a cup of coffee. Just brew up a good stout cup and pour it right in the dye bath.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait a little bit and let it all soak in and rinse really well then off to the clothesline to dry.</div>
