Snuggly Goodness

Look at this AMAZING quilt that Rychelle from Las Vegas created with her sosovintage fabrics!  It makes me wish even harder than ever that I wasn't hopeless with a sewing machine.

 She backed it with one of my all-time favorite pinks.  Isn't that stripe an awesome touch?

Besides the obvious aesthetic reasons for quilting with vintage sheet fabrics, there is the added benefit of this material already being soft and snuggly from years of washing.  If this quilt were on my bed, I might never get up in the morning.  Thanks so much for sharing your labor of love with us, Rychelle!

Stymied

This GORGEOUS quilt is my Thursday's treasure for this week. It is quite possibly the most amazing bundle of beauty that I have ever owned. Stunning vintage fabrics in all of my favorite colors; varied textures and florals combine to exude an authentic and true shabby chic vibe. No stains, bright colors, very little wear. All mine! Salvation Army: $4.99. Seriously.

Why am I sharing Thursday's treasure with you on Saturday, you ask? Would you believe I have spent the last four days trying to get a photo or two that I felt would come close to showcasing this item's specialness? These two shots are the closest I could get, and they still don't do it any justice at all. Grrrr.

On a more positive note, I get to give the boot the boot in one more week! I hope you are having a super duper weekend... what are your plans? Do tell!

Shout Out to Durham NC

Check out the talent that comes from my neighboring state. This photo was sent in by a lovely customer who showcased some super 70s prints from her sosovintage flower power and brights charm packs in this fab creation. Now that is MY kind of quilt!
