and now… the GIVEAWAY

*** the giveaway is now closed. Please check back again, there will be another giveaway soon. If you would like to purchase some of these (and other) vintage sheets FQs check my shop.

As I mentioned in the last post – I have gotten my hands on some vintage lovelies recently and I wanted to share. Finally, I have cut up the sheets and I am giving away the following:

1. 7 fat quarters cut out from lovely vintage sheets. These are oversized fat quarters, each about 20×22 in.

2. 6 buttons covered with fabrics cut out from vintage sheets and pillow cases, small print only.

3. Something you don’t see here, it is going to be a little surprise – bias tape cut out of one of the sheets with smaller print. OK, so the surprise will be the print…

How will this work? I will give you two chances: First – simply leave a comment here. Second – do you twitter, or have a blog? tweet about this giveaway, or post about it on your blog, then come back and add another comment. That’s it. Anyone can play – I will ship internationally. I will leave this giveaway open for two weeks, until Feb 7, then announce the winner Tuesday Feb 8.

Good Luck!

    Love this giveaway! I’m addicted to vintage sheets… I should also do a giveaway like this! I’ve got tons sitting in my closet, but none of these prints. My local thrift is FULL of sheets right now, so I’m waiting for them to go 20-50% off to move inventory and then I’m going to swoop! Great finds and thank you for sharing!

    what a lovely group of fabrics!

    I love the look of vintage sheets and these are very pretty. Very hard to find though and being in another country Australia I have no idea where to even start to look. Some of the charity shops like Salvos have linen but never pretty stuff like your giveaway.

    I have always loved the vintage sheet colors – I used one with blue flowers to make a duvet cover for my daughter’s bed. These are really pretty.
