Vintage Mattress Ticking and "Tending Her Garden" Punch Needle Design by Rose Clay at ThreeSheepStudio.com
"Tending Her Garden" Punch Needle Design

There is just something crisp, clean and
refreshing about mattress ticking.  I love to
see pillows, kitchen towels and furniture, 
in all different shades of this wonderful stripe.

I am dreaming of a finish for one of my
punch needle designs, using some of this
"gifted" mattress ticking...

We woke up to sunshine and some very
cool temps this morning.
I ride my bike to the Post Office early
each morning to deliver packages.
It was in the 'refreshing' 50's this morning !
Sweater weather in July ;)

Have a creative day !

  2. Wow that is so cool for July isn't it? I love ticking too. I am always on the look for it. I think it looks so good made up into pillows, and pin keeps.
    I am so glad you are having a very nice summer.
    Every thing looks so pretty.

  5. Oh I love ticking too!! The cool weather sounds lovely...we are sweltering here. The Studio still a work in progress requiring a trip to The Container Store yesterday. But it will have to wait as my daughter is coming in today for a weekend of wedding work. December will be here before you know it & I still don't have my dress!

  6. love ticking of all kinds.It just gives you a great feeling. I love the faded warm feeling.. red khaki and cream is my favorite combination.
    Your weather sounds lovely. We have had high 90's with heat index of 105 for a week now and lots if rain and wind. just crazy.

    I can tell your new design will be great just from the name..

  7. Hi Rose,
    Yes, I love ticking too and have some old pieces that I hoard, just waiting for the right project!! You have a very sweet and generous friend and the colors are wonderful!!! Lucky you!!
    How I would love to have some of your weather!! At least it is a bit cooler here today.....mid 80's and a forecast of rain, which we need so badly out here in CA!!
    Take care and enjoy your Sunday!
    Warm Hugs~
