“Ohio Star” is one of my favorite quilt patterns. Partly because my Great Grandmother was from Ohio, traveling part way with her family from Ohio to Arkansas on a river boat.
I cut, pieced, quilted, backed, and stuffed this little “Ohio Star” prim pillow tuck.
Great addition to your Primitive, Colonial, Farmhouse, Country, or Cottage Decor. You could also add to your Americana vignettes.
Thanks for stopping by Raintreegatherings!!!
Decorating In The Primitive Colonial Style
This post about elegant colonial interiors was like a trip down memory lane. In my early 20's I was in love with primitive colonial decor. My Bible was a magazine called Colonial Homes. In fact I bought a beautiful corner cupboard with the first pay check from my first job. I put it on lay away and paid the antique store monthly until I had it paid off.
I was blessed to find an old two story colonial home to restore and fill with my obsession. I had some beautiful pieces, did the stenciling like you will see in some of these photos, bought pencil post canopy beds, spinning wheels, Chippendale sofas, made some gorgeous reproduction samplers (which I plan to do a post on shortly) and had a home that looks alot like some of these homes. I only have one picture of my kitchen left because I had many old photos and items stored at my parents whose home burned in 1990.
I recently visited the old house which has been turned into a photography studio and the stenciling and murals have all been painted over. It was sad but people have the right to their own styles. Even my tastes have changed since then to more of an old world elegance. I do have a very special place in my heart for the design style of this post. It is more of a lifestyle, and there is a quite elegant quality about it that is relaxing and calming, much like the French Provence style. It is a beautiful look that will always be in style because it is timeless.

This was an early picture of a portion of the kitchen in my old colonial in 1983 before I stenciled the walls. The stencil pattern was very similar to the one below so use your imagination.

This reminds me so much of my TV room in the old house. I had flame stitch chairs almost identical to these and an old plantation desk like the one in the corner except mine had a door. The room was stenciled very similar to this.
