If you are interested, I added some fat quarter packs of vintage sheets from my collection to our Etsy shop today. Please let me know if you have any questions. I think there is a good variety and some really nice fabrics in the sets.
Since I have had so much fun making quilts and things out of the vintage sheets, I decided to put together some fat quarters sets. I'll be listing them on etsy in the next few days (as soon as I get some good pictures taken). The packs I am putting together are of my favorite prints, and I hope you will think so too. I'll put together another blog post when I have them listed.
Thanks!

Here's my newest project that I started (when I really should be finishing some others) :)... oh well, this one is really cute! Elizabeth made the most adorable quilt with some fruit prints and polka dots last summer and I knew I wanted to make one for myself (you can find the tutorial on her blog). I received one fat quarter of the fruit print that I needed to make the centers of the squares from the vintage sheet swap she hosted last year. Here are the five blocks I am using to make the table runner.
My blocks turned out a bit larger than what Elizabeth made... guess I should have read the directions better. (Mine are 14" when they should have been 12.5") oh well...
I couldn't find any of the blue and green dot fabric anymore, but I think the gingham is a good substitute. The dot fabric and gingham are from Mary Engelbreit's collections called Friends and Flowers and Baskets of Flowers.
The floral fabrics are all from vintage sheets... I know it seems to be a theme here lately. :)
So, here it is, broken up into a couple of pictures. I'm ready to start making my quilt sandwich. The strawberry fabric in the top photo is what I am going to use for the backing. :)
Yippee, it's done! :) I finished it up last week and I'm so happy with the results.
It's the largest quilt (twin size)that I have completed all by myself. Next time I'm at the cottage I'll have to measure it... I know I'll have to make one for each of my boys.
Here it is on K's bed. She said she slept great under it last week. :)~Jessica
My blocks for the Sew Connected group for May and June.
My own flower garden pillow from earlier this week and (below) here's what I have tonight. There's about a hundred ends to weave back in on the back and the fabric pillow cover to make.
I've also been quilting for a couple of days on the crazy 9 patch quilt and I'm only about half done! I'm hoping to finish by the end of the week.
The flower garden pillow turned out great! I used a natural linen fabric to make a pillow case and added a tie and a coordinating piece of fabric to cover the pillow form on the side. I think the pillow ended up being about 16 inches square.
I've started working on another one for myself because I gave this one to Jennifer as a birthday gift. :) Happy Birthday, Jenn!
I started crocheting these adorable flowers last week and almost have enough finished for a pillow cover. I saw the pattern (it's free!) on a blog called rose hip and knew I had to make some for myself. A whole garden of pillows are in my future!
