...Welcome......Lori Brechlin has been a designer of Primitives for over 12 years...She continues to offer patterns for the Needleworker, as well as Finished Samplers on eBay under her sellername "NotforgottenFarmPrimitives"...each finished Sampler imbues the patina of a treasured heirloom...with intentional dropped stitches, mis-spelled words & a naive sense...
...her cross stitch & needle punch designs are distributed throughout the USA as well as Italy & Australia... you can find them at finer Needlework shops....
...Lori also designs blank Primitive Notecards & Holidays Cards...her whimsical & folky artwork helped to illustrate the now defunct Holly Berry Hill catalog in the 1990's...
...Lori's work has been shown in Country Home magazine, Country Sampler magazine, Country Marketplace magazine, Rug Hooking magazine & she was a feature artist in the Mercantile Gatherings magazine as well....
...Look for more of Lori's Primitive Card designs in the February 2006 issue of Country Home magazine......Lori began her artistic journey years ago, with the help of her Mom, Elda Elizabeth Geiste Smith...designing Old Wold & Antique styled Bears...each made from Mohair & Upholstery Velvets...their personality & charm comes from Lori's use of Vintage & Antique accessories...from Stocking Caps made from Vintage wool to a sweet hand-cut Valentine...aside from the actual creating of her Bears, finding just the right accessories for her Bears is one of Lori's greatest pleasures...each Bear is fully jointed, has antique shoe button, bone button or hand-blown glass German eyes...the paw pads are made from vintage leathers, suedes or wool...Lori makes her Bears to resemble the much Loved, Worn & Tattered playthings of our Past...
...Aside from purchasing from this website, you can find Lori's Bears, Notecards & Samplers on eBay, under her sellername, 'NotforgottenFarmPrimitives'...for your bidding pleasure...
