Cover Story
Timeless and Timeworn - a clock for all seasons. Stitch a peaceful scene to decorate your wall or mantle. Then follow our finishing directions to complete this enduring project.
Painting Directions for Clock:
Use craft paint (available in most craft stores). Paint the unfinished clock with a red basecoat and let dry. Identify areas where you would like a timeworn appearance. Cover these areas with wax from a used white candle. Paint the entire clock black, and let dry. Rub painted clock firmly with steel wool. The paint will release from those areas where wax was applied, and the red will show through. This will give a beautiful timeworn look, and a softly waxed finish.

I love barns. They tell a story of time that changed only with the seasons -when people valued relationships more than progress. They echo a time when planting, waiting, tending, and reaping ordered the pace of life. Recreation and crafts were welcome distractions after chores were completed. People didn't have to search for significance because they lived it. No wonder I love barns.

WARNING - The teeth on the button are very sharp. Keep this in mind when mounting the finished needlework. Hand sew button to end of Tieback and hang on wall hook.
Decide which direction you want to use the tieback before stitching. When you are ready, stitch design at chosen end of Bandaida. Fold end in at 45 degree angle. Repeat. Baste back. This will give you a nice finished edge. Decide how long the tieback needs to be, and then repeat folding at other end. Sew loops to both ends for hanging on wall hook..

Keeping Room
Angels flying overhead guard us night and day. The larger border makes a lovely and unusual curtain tieback - especially when paired with the upholstered button. The smaller border works well as a basket trim or a window shade embellishment. Add quilted buttons for even more color and depth. See our matching afghan on pages 18 & 19.
