So very cool. Love all the textures and subtle color. That is an interesting woven rag covering. As you know, I'm doing zero with mini (other than reading blogs) but I had to go out and buy some of the fan blades just in case!Minkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475472888411008059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-42653959890738840962010-10-27T06:28:42.230-07:002010-10-27T06:28:42.230-07:00Wood was ( and stil is) the general fuel in the m...Wood was ( and stil is) the general fuel in the most parts of Russia. In some places coal and turf can be used and sometimes bricks of dry dung (used as fuel or for construction in woodless regions) but it's not your case. YOur house looks like very typical for Central part of Russia, Siberia or Far East where there were a lot of wood. If you take any Russian folk fairy tales about Baba Yaga you'll see original russian stove as it is with shutter, cast iron pots of special shape and oven fork. I remember this things from my childhood when my grandmother struglled for keeping the "Russian stove" in her house althou there were electricity and gas because the quality and taste of the food prepared in this stove was incredible.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996072263428249998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-41976401915343774642010-10-27T03:37:08.287-07:002010-10-27T03:37:08.287-07:00La colcha estará preciosa, seguro.

I haven't found any information on that.Caseyminihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622994881661283282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-54678474080982665392010-10-26T08:36:55.227-07:002010-10-26T08:36:55.227-07:00So, you are very well prepared for decorating the ...So, you are very well prepared for decorating the Russian house ! It's true that there were very popular to make things as patchwork or weave rugs from small pieses of weared (used)cloths or just some new fabric leftovers. You are highly skilled quilt maker so Tessie must be very well supplied will patchworks. With bed skirt you have no limited - stitching, croshet, knitting -almost any king of fancywork were used to decorate the bed.<br /><br />As for stove - I just want to make a small remarks. There must be few (3-5) cast iron concentric rings for each burner to use pans and pots with different sizes.<br /><br />And socks for Tessie is (are?) a must ! The floor was cold and there were draughts everywere. I think it could be wise to make some new warming cloths for Tessie...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996072263428249998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-40717683428535988282010-10-26T04:25:39.903-07:002010-10-26T04:25:39.903-07:00Wow, I love the stove in the picture.

It is a pity that you won't be making it. <br /><br />The quilt, I have no doubt you will be able to replicate and to do it par excellence. <br /><br />I think you are the only person I know who still knit socks.
