A week or so ago, my quilting buddy Cynthia found a source for vintage scraps. She shared the source and I fell hard. We both ordered some and mine arrived on Friday. We ordered from A Piece of Cloth-textile merchants in Australia. What a bunch of wonderful vintage scrap heaven! My husband just does not get it. He thinks I am quite off my rocker to have ordered what he calls "somebody's garbage!" It am totally tickled with it and I can see using the scraps in all sorts of small projects like needlebooks and stuff. The prints are just zowie and apparently are from the 1920s to the 1950s. The scraps are a variety of sizes too from small 2" by 3" to larger chunks.
Yesterday I met up with some of the fabulous ladies from the Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild. Darlene has organized a travelling Coffee Klatch each Saturday. Yesterday it was in my neck of the woods. It was so much fun to have a cup of coffee and a goodie in a cute little coffee shop and talk about all things quilty. I think we were quite loud!
And my scrap basket is overflowing!!! I had a busy weekend! I even got some GARDENING done this morning!!!! Spring break is a week away!
I have lots of vintage feed sacks and scraps...soon to be on my Etsy store.
ReplyDeleteLove those vintage scraps! Great selection!
ReplyDeleteOh what lovely scraps! Just look at the picture how happy and bright it is... imagine the quilts it can make! WOw! Bet there was a LOT of "ooohh!" and "aaahhh!" when you open the package. The timing is perfect too with March Break just around the corner, you'll have plenty of time to play with all this. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBet your husband wouldn't feel the same about vintage sports memorabilia Cathy :)

Your vintage scraps are so pretty. They really appeal to me for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThose are the best scraps around! Educate your husband on vintage and then he can be online ordering for you! :)
