The summer issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects is arriving in stores and mailboxes if you have a subscription. I happen to have a small project in this issue.
This is Hen House. It makes a super cute table runner which is what I will use it for when it comes home. I love the goofy rooster, preening for the hens. It is wool and cotton so it goes together quickly.
The super generous ladies from the magazine are giving away 2 - 1 year subscriptions to the magazine. Leave me a comment telling me what you love about folk art and primitive style between now and 8pm central time on Sunday April 16. I will choose two winners at random to win subscriptions. This offer is open to residents of the US and Canada.
Have a fab. day!
Happy Quilting, Dawn
I really love folk art because it takes you back to a much "simpler way of life". No digital equipment, fast pace and whistles and bells all over the place!
ReplyDeletePS: Your little "Hen House" runner is super cute too.
Thanks! nettiecrain@live.com
I think your little quilt is adorable. I love the whimsical rooster too, but I especially like the eggs and border treatment. I am mostly a fan of traditional/antique quilts, but I love Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine because so many of my quilting friends are contributors. I am already a subscriber so don't enter me in the drawing. Just wanted to tell you how much I like your quilt.
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see your project in the magazine, it is adorable! I love the primitive and folk art style of quilts because nothing is "perfect" about it. It just looks warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy how fun and flexible prim stitching is. It is beautiful, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Any variation from the pattern is a design choice and not a mistake.
ReplyDeleteI love the "folk" look of wool...I am so wanting to learn to work in the wools & hand stitching. The magazine looks just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the appeal of folk art and primitive designs because of their adaptability. Just by changing the fabric choices you can create something that has a traditional/antique look or a very modern/contemporary look. The process of working by hand in a primitive folk art style is also very portable - I love that! Please pick me - carol at artlessfabrications dot com
ReplyDeleteI love the way simple lines create a whole picture and concept.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to get my next copy of Primitive Quilts so I can see it close up. I love primitive stykle and folk art for the colours. They are all soothing to the eye.
ReplyDeleteI feel like primitive stitcheries let me be me. However it turns out is a reflection on my style.
ReplyDeleteYour little quilt is gorgeous.I love the style and the fabric combo they use.
ReplyDeleteI love its simplicity an quirkiness.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your publication. Your chicken runner is great, I have them in my kitchen. I like it as a wall banner too. Actually we have 8 hens. I like working with wool and the Primitive Quilts usually has a cute cat, chicken or lamb in them. I have made some of them for my bedroom shelves. I especially like prim or folk table toppers. Thanks for the chance of winning a subscription.
ReplyDeleteThe primitive folk style allows you to relax when you work, knowing that okay is good enough!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on such a wonderful project. I have egg layer chickens and will have to hunt down this issue for sure. I love to do wool applique. I just really love the feel and dimension. Would love a subscription to the magazine, I find folk art to be so wonderful with the simple lines and fun shapes.
ReplyDeleteYour project is adorable. I just love the funky "flock." I like the simplicity and clean lines of primitive patterns. I particularly like to do wool and fabric fusible applique with hand stitching around the edges. Thanks for the opportunity to win a subscription.
ReplyDeleteI love the Primitive Quilts and Projects book. I like folk art and primitive style because of its simpleness and easy shapes. Thanks for the drawing.
ReplyDeletePrim projects offer me the opportunity to hand stitch and relax. It's a good thing!

ReplyDeleteThe fact that it's not perfect and whims.
ReplyDeleteI love the whimsiness of fold art. It's more like caricatures as opposed to exact likenesses and is fun. Thanks so much for sharing. I would love to win a subscription to this mag.
ReplyDeleteLove your project and I love this magazine , I just love this type of decorating and the projects just speak to my soul .
ReplyDeleteI love that it's usually quirky and different. Several of us fell in love with your chickens when we saw the project. It is so cute. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteIt's the color that first draws me into folk art. Then it is the casual simplicity and quirkiness.
ReplyDeleteI started quilting in Folk and primitive quilting in 1973. I think it is because the quilt becomes what people say is a "Still Life" painting. Something real and inviting for the eye. Thanks for the opportunity to win a subscription.

ReplyDeleteI really like your Hen House runner. It would go nicely with the rooster theme I've got going on in my kitchen. Folk art and primitive designs complement the country style of decorating that I love.
ReplyDeleteThe colors and textures of Primitive folk art soothe my soul. I think reading the Little House on the Prarie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder in elementary school had a huge influence on me and I've been drawn to that simply lovely style ever since♥️
ReplyDeleteI love your rooster! I love primitive designs because they make me smile and they are more whimsical. I feel like I can draw the designs myself which makes me want to make them all! :-) So glad you had a design in the magazine. Congrats! K- lkw2x6-apq@yahoo.com
ReplyDeletePrimitive style seems so unpretentious, so comfortable with itself, so unwilling to put on airs. Love it! Thanks for offering the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYour wall quilt is very cute. Too bad I don't have any wall space left, LOL. I love primitive quilts and projects everything always feels like it is was made with love and passed down from generation to generation.
