Vintage Sheets

I have been collecting vintage sheets like everyone else these days. I finally made a quilt out of some of them. I wanted something to practice with on the quilting frame. I have not used it that much and sometimes just practice on a sheet or piece of fabric doesn't do it. So I made this quilt and figured if I messed it up it wouldn't matter. I so love how this quilt came out. Not all the sheets in there are vintage but most of them. It is so nice and soft and cuddlie (not a word I guess but it works). I put a sheet on the back too, not vintage but a nice soft cotton sheet. I am so sold on the idea of making quilts out of sheets. I hope to make another one in the near future. I am also getting some Un-done projects DONE! I have a few more to go then I will start another sheet quilt I think. Oh who am I kidding I will have 4 or 5 going before I know it. How about you? Ever made a quilt out of sheets?

Another Finish

I wanted to get this posted earlier but it has been one of those weeks and certainly one of those day. First to update the computer then the iTouch. My internet is not what it should be and took a total of 6 hours to update the iTunes/iTouch. Glad that is over with!

This is a Moda Bake Shop quilt that I made for a very dear friend of mine who had a new grand-baby arrive in August. I wanted to do something extra special for my friend so I made her daughter the quilt for the new baby. I have sent it out and it was well received. She even sent me a thank you card in the mail. People just don't do that very much anymore and it meant a lot to me. She did send a photo of the baby on the quilt as well. Always nice to see the baby on the quilt.

I loved making this quilt and it was just the one I needed to help me get back into the sewing mood again. I put a vintage sheet on the back of it. The pinks and the green were a perfect match.

Now I am off to relax a bit. I finished a quilt top tonight that I do not like but it turned out alright. Will post about that one after I finish it. I have another top to start first before I sandwich that one.

Have a great weekend.

Vintage Sheets

Well I think blogger is getting straightened out. I know some people lost posts and some just lost the comments from the posts. I have not really been on because my feed was all messed up as well. I thought I would try and post this and see if it worked.

I have been buying some vintage sheets. I love the feel of them and some of the prints are wonderful. These are a few of the ones I have been collecting. There are a few pillow cases there too. (I bought some nice navy blue pillow cases and hubby claimed them.)  When I get some other projects done, I want to make a quilt out of them. Hopefully this winter.
