Vintage linens...for a patchwork quilt maybe?  I'll definately need more!

  2. Awesome pile of sheets. Did you know you can make a good sided quilt from 9 pillowcases? front and back?? so you need less than you think!

  3. They look gorgeous! There are some really lovely patterns in there. Makes me wish I knew how to sew! x

  4. I wish the thrift stores where we lived had such great finds! :) Beautiful sheets! I can't wait to see what you make.

  5. Thanks hausfrau!

    Deb - really? Only nine?? But then I have the conundrum of deciding whether I want to have a colour theme and whether I want to make quilts for every bed in the house...either way, it equals more fabric! (Or perhaps I'm just making excuses...)

    Kaili - I don't really know how to either but I've inherited an old machine so I'm going to learn. Meanwhile, collecting is fun!

    Cassandra - this took quite a bit of searching through some out of the way thrift stores, but I'm a little excited that I know exactly where they are all located now! It's incredibly tempting though...

  6. I'm so jealous of that vintage sheet pile! I always wanted to make a quilt out of them too.
