Thistle Down Moon: Fresh Primitive Projects Inspired by an Old Quilt

Share in the creative outpouring a ratty old quilt inspired to craft rustic and earthy projects from a pincushion to a hooked rug.

Primitive artist Maggie Bonanomi discovered a great old quilt. She marveled, played and let her mind wander. This book is the result. She’s created an exciting new quilt, which inspired a pile of matching pillows. Her Thistle Down Moon mat and rug designs sprung from memories of summer nights riding bikes with her sister.

She’s also designed sewing accessories: a sewing case, pincushion, a wall-hung sewing necessity, a handy pocket and a necklace.

Primitive home decorators are not forgotten—besides the quilt and pillows, you’ll find a table runner, a cross-stitch sampler and penny-topped stools. There’s even a multipurpose butcher’s apron.

Maggie’s well never runs dry. Enjoy her latest creations, 19 in all.
