I have always been interested in history and early American crafts. Through this
interest, I became acquainted with the historical American floorcloths, and proceeded to
learn all that I could about them. I was so impressed with them, that I decided to make
my own. During the last ten years, I have made these canvas products for my home,
My floorcloths are made in the similar manner as the historical pieces, using heavy
sailcloth quality canvas and numerous coats of paint. All pieces are hand drawn and
painted as well as stenciled. These pieces are covered with several coats of a
protective finish and are water proof, pet proof and stain resistant, lasting ,any years.
My business Designs By Grace was launched about six years ago. My family has been
a great help to the business, helping with canvas preparation, sales and show set ups.
Many of my designs are inspired by the colonial canvases, and I incorporate many of
the early American stencils in my work. Additionally, I create more contemporary and
custom projects.
Currently, Designs By Grace products are sold at various craft shows, though an Etsy
Shop and via my website www.designsbygrace.biz. Floorcloth Making Workshops are
also offered.

Old Buttermould Pattern
Bruce & Donna Plunkert

Donna and I make sand castings of antique butter mold patterns dating from the early 1700’s to the early 1900’s. Our goal has always been to reproduce as closely as we could the exact size, shape and pattern of the antique patterns. All of our work is made of molding plaster and dyed sand. We use no paint in the process. We are celebrating 25 years in business this coming year and have had a great time doing the molds and have met so many great people along the way. We recommend that everyone attend the Mistletoe Mart as it is unlike any other show we have done.
