Country Primitives 16

Country Primitives 16, by Maxine Thomas is another hit! As one of Maxine’s original “Friday Girls”, I’ve been painting her designs for a very long time. Many of the line drawings in Country Primitives 16, require enlarging to fit on the surfaces that Maxine has painted them on, but I thought it might be fun to just take the designs in the sizes given and find a surface that they would fit on as is. So here are some photos of what I chose and how they all turned out! What do you think?

Ewe Are Welcome

A while ago I saw this great pillow at Sterbridge Yankee Workshop and thought it would make a great painting project.

From the image I created a pattern for me to transfer to wood.  I looked at several different surfaces, but finally settled on the Cross Frame with Insert.  I went back and forth between painting the stars or something else above the lamb.  I finally used Laurie Speltz Welcome Stencil.  I think it gives it a complete look.

Let me know what you think.
