with strawberry, a large pig pillow, a small crow pillow
and

and fir cones are not included in the

apron to blend with her pillows. Her sun bonnet is
made of muslin. Tied around her body is a large
strawberry made of red and cream calico with string pulled
seeds. The leafy top is made of painted osnaburg.
She has been lightly antiqued to give her an old appearance.

antiqued. The pig is made from wool felt with a muslin
strip. He has wooden legs tied onto the pillow with
string. His ears and the crow on his back are made
from 50 year old vintage homespun fabric. He has a
black bead eye. The large crow is also made from
vintage homespun . The strawberry is made of slightly
stuffed calico fabric, with hand embroidered leaf top and
French knots as seeds. The long dangling vine is
crochet floss hand-sewn with tiny stitches.
