Harvest Gatherings Swap Projects

These are things that I made for the Harvest Gatherings Swap hosted by Amy at Bumble Bee Lane

This is a burlap bag with an appliqued crow.  The bag is filled with weeds and apple cinnamon potpourri 

This candle mat made from calico has appliqued felt apples in the style of a penny rug.

Ditty Bags

Amy at Bumble Bee Lane hosts primitive swaps that I enjoy participating in.  The theme this time was Ditty Bags.  I saw a picture of a similar ditty bag and recreated it.  The muslin bag has a calico pocket that the little prim doll will nestle in.  It was a fun project and would be perfect for a little girl to take to church to keep her occupied.

I also included an antique cheese slicer that would be great for slicing beets or carrots in a wavy pattern.
