My name is Marilyn. I have been creating and sewing for many years now. Four years ago I was in the midst of decorating my new home and I happened upon Susie’s. From that moment on I knew that Primitive Décor was for me!

I visited Susie’s often and fell in love with the shoppe and all it has to offer. You will find me working in the shoppe now - I became a part of the Susie’s Bittersweet Treasures Family!

Designing and stitching on pillows came about due to my love for sewing. I make pillows with crows, flowers, and can hand stitch just about any saying on them! They really add a special touch – isn’t it nice to have a home that feels cozy and inviting! This year I created a tea towel that gives a custom look to anyone’s kitchen or bathroom! What a special gift to give for any occasion!


Tea Towels

Personalized tea towels are the newest addition to my line of embroidered creations. Sayings such as “Grandma’s Kitchen”, “Diane’s Kitchen”, and “The Smith’s Kitchen” – just to name a few - are found exclusively at Susie’s. You select the tea towel, you decide what you want it to read and we will create a decorative and unique one of a kind treasure for you to enjoy. As always, Susie’s has many tea towels already personalized to choose from in the shoppe every day!


Pillows

This is a sample of the many pillows I have created. They are all made from homespun fabrics and hand embroidered by me. These primitive pillows have sayings such as, “Always Kiss Me Goodnight”, “When You Stumble, Make It Part Of The Dance”, Sisters Are Stitched Together By Patches Of Memories” and my personal favorite, “Live, Laugh, Love and Be Happy”. A few of my special creations have been gifts for Weddings, Anniversaries, Births and Engagments. These homemade pillows are great gifts to accent any home and I am happy to custom make these treasures for you!
