9" Antique German grainsack bird pillow bowl filler decor, rustic farmhouse grain sack tier tray, patched primitive antique quilt home decor

RARE antique German grain sack has been made into a stunning 9" charming bowl filler pillow here in my 1787 farmhouse studio. I came across this find and could not believe the timeworn color and rustic distressed textures. I really liked the primitive super interesting handsewn patching seen on this grain sack (next to the bird, to the left and on the reverse). I wanted to think about Spring, so I appliqued a bluebird from blue antique quilt pieces and added a bit of orange suede for the birds chest. I could not resist adding a bit of antique lace under the quilt sun. When I made this pillow, I left the edges rugged and frayed which adds to its charm.

The reverse is the same grain sack. It is filled with poly fill. Approximately 9 x 9.

This pillow is perfect for any rustic farmhouse, shabby cottage or French country decors wherever one wants an OOAK touch of antique, distressed, rustic textured nostalgia. It is charming enough in size to make a bowl filler piece, as a tier tray display or a cupboard tuck. Please note: the grain sack is rare and the labor involved to applique the bird/sun is time-consuming so the piece is OOAK and priced accordingly.

As with any unique item, returns are not accepted and there are wonderfully distressed-worn-tattered-tea staining which adds to this antique grain sack pillows charm. Not a toy. Spot clean only.
