grid pillow
As I mentioned in the previous post, as of recently, I have developed a “thing” for vintage sheets. I like the colorful ones that I have seen around the blogosphere – those being used in quilts, aprons, skirts, little girl dresses… but I am also drawn to those with small flowers on white background. Especially [...]
flutters quilt
I have posted pictures of this quilt as I was making progress on my flickr page, but have never written about it.So here we go… Recently I have been… I am reluctant to say this… yes… “a bit” hooked on thrifting… vintage sheets to be more precise. A few weeks ago I found a flat [...]
just a quicky to show what I’ve won
I took pictures of a finished pillow, a finished quilt top, some new vintage sheets and planned for a long post, but I think I am going to turn in early tonight. Hubby is in bed with fever and I just now I am next. So I need rest. But just one photo of what [...]
one of those days… except it’s been almost two weeks

New project
Yes, I finally started. I say finally, because sometimes I get a lot of ideas, draw a few sketches and then cannot decide which to do first. But after some fabric sorting, looking at fabrics and the sketches from a distance, and thinking about what I really want to cut (and how much) I decided [...]
Plo Pillow
I am calling this one Plo Pillow. This is all I could come up. And I am sticking to it. So here it is: I used 13 different floral fabrics, one of which is vintage french linen (only one square) recently bought at a thrift store. Squares are about 3 in square (I say ‘about’ [...]
for new beginnings
Happy New Year to everyone! I will not write a review of last year or predictions for new year. I don’t do resolutions – I found that they never work – they just make you feel overwhelmed and then you feel bad when you cannot accomplish them.. I will say that last year was no [...]
