Primitive can be warm and cozy with their dark country colors
such as burgundy, navy, hunter, and mustard.
Fabrics include plaids, homespun, and quilts -
for a rustic cabin feeling. Woods are rustic such as pine, cedar and barn wood with a matte finish. Metals include iron, tin, and pewter. Accessories include game boards,
samplers, sheep, crows, saltbox houses, signs, and antiques. Crafts are right at home in the primitive decor including:
Sewing Crafts
• Rag garlands on the mantle
• Add a primitive tag to a hand made gift for a finishing touch.
• Free primitive graphics or coloring pages can lend themselves
easily to framed pieces or pillows that feature primitive stitching.
Thin muslin can be placed over the graphic and traced, then apply some big stitches,
embellish with buttons, yarn and frame.
• Felt can be appliqued with big stitches onto a felt pillow
for a warm seasonal addition.

Christmas tree penny rug would make it a cozy addition to any Holiday home.

Rough wooden signs
with their edges worn and a
crackle finish
 can say any number of things.

decor, or angel blessings. Some patterns can
be found in these books:
