Quilts in the Etsy Shop!

Right now I've got some lovely quilts in the shop looking for new homes - two vintage and two handmade. It's getting chilly out there so it's a good time to feather your nest with one of these beauties!
First up is this gorgeous vintage red and white quilt of colorful feedsack star blocks with red gingham sashing between. Charming as all heck.


Below is the "Tangerine Dream" quilt i blogged about previously. I am so proud of it! I love that it features some gorgeous vintage prints in the middle and then makes use of some de-stash materials given to me by another quilting friend. One person's de-stash is another person's "Oh that's exactly what i need for a border!"

UPDATE - this quilt is sold :-)


Next up is another vintage jobbie - a lovely pink & blue checkerboard patchwork, this one is made of re-purposed fabric, in the classic "waste not, want not" fashion. If you look close you can see from the bottom photo that whomever made this quilt very carefully pieced the checkerboard fabric so that the grain is every-other and forms a herringbone pattern. Please check out this item in my shop, it would make a gorgeous bedspread for a girl's room or cottage-y guest room.


And finally, the Garden Patch quilt that I also bragged - er.... blogged about earlier. I love that my mom and I both had a hand in this one. Also, it's the perfect size for bringing along when you visit friends or relatives with le bebe - just spread it out on the floor and let baby play. :-)

These are going fast (thanks to an unseasonably cold New England autumn!) so if you are interested in any of these, snap 'em up!

COMING SOON: I just got in a great lot of vintage clothing, just in time for Halloween! Check back soon!
