Vintage Sheet Fat Quarter Swap - Rosey Little Things

Rosey Little Things

I recently participated in a Fat Quarter Swap hosted by Jen at Rosey Little Things.  I had missed the first one due to our move so I was thrilled to get to join in on the fun for this one. 

The requirements were to send between 5 and 20 fat quarters cut from vintage 100% cotton sheets (as in pre-1980s).  I was thrilled to find a few of these pretty cotton sheets at our local thrift shop in great condition so I cut them into several fat quarters and sent in a total of 17 for my swap packet.  The photo below shows the patterns of the ones I sent:

This photo shows the great variety of 17 patterns I received back from Jen & the 37 or so other fabric lovers who played along for the swap:

Mom and I are enjoying ourselves trying to decide on what quilt pattern we're going to use for her new lap quilt.  She's decided that several of these lovelies will be perfect for it.

Thanks Jen for hosting the great swap and all the work you put into it.  I'm looking forward to next time!

Winner of the Tao of Mia & Leo Book Giveaway

Who says that being the first comment can't win????

Our lucky winner of The Tao of Mia and Leo is Lynda of Bloom, Bake & Create. Lynda said...

Sounds like a great book. We have three inside cats: Sidd (the alpha male) Shel and Puddin. It looks like we now have an outside cat since she's (we are calling her Callie, even though she won't let us get near her) sleeping in the old cat house and eating the food we put out. I'd love to win this book. Thanks.
