I thought you might like to see how my Vintage Sheet Hunt is going....
A few of my favourites....
You need to travel to the land of Pinterest to see what it is that I want to make....check it out HERE! As you can see, I still have a few more sheets to find...I need more blues, purples and well just more colourful sheets! But that's OK...it gives me something to hunt for...and it's ALL about the hunt! And because they are OLD sheets, I never pay over $2 or $3 for a sheet...most are $1 or LESS! They are, after all, VINTAGE...a polite way of saying OLD...and no one wants to sleep under someone elses' old sheets...unless of course, they are re-purposed into a beautiful quilt!:o))
What about YOU? What are you on the hunt for?
Have a FUN Friday and Happy Stitching!~P
I went on the hunt for old treadle sewing machine drawers--the beautiful wooden ones. I have two that I use for organization in my sewing room and I wanted to find one to put my friend's birthday gift in. A trip to one of my antique stores yesterday yielded two of them because I could not decide which one I like better and figured I could always put another one to use for myself.
ReplyDeleteI love your sheets, I have had a few sheets and pillow cases.
ReplyDeleteYour collection of sheets reminds me of some we received as wedding gifts...long gone! Have you visited Bee in My Bonnet? She has a couple of blog posts on what she has made with her vintage sheets plus so much more. I'm doing the Farm Girl Vintage quilt...if you need something else to do? It's so fun and not too late to start!
ReplyDeleteAren't vintage sheets gorgeous! Love the quilt you are making.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of inspiration to choose from. I love the patchwork quilt from Red Pepper Quilts. Actually love anything of hers.
ReplyDeleteIt is such an amazing world us quilters have embraced, lol
ReplyDeletewhat fun, looked at the pinterest board and lots of inspiration there for you. Are you finding cotton sheets, here they are mostly poly cotton, oh silly me in vintage times I suppose there was not any polyester
ReplyDeleteOh to think of how many of those old sheets I just threw out! I love the vintage sheets Dresden.
