I think the bunting set me off. It reminded me I had a linen cupboard stuffed full of fabric and that my sewing machine is in good working order.
And now I have a sewing blister. Well really it’s a cutting fabric blister.
After a bit of fabric cutting, some straight line sewing and staying up past my bedtime (gasp) I popped out a queen size quilt, yup, just like that.
I used a good number of vintage floral pieces, some bits and pieces of opshopped sheets, aprons and the like… and when I started eyeing of one of Bonnie’s dresses I knew it was going too far.
I’m officially labelling it as ‘ the Family Heirloom’, just because I can.
Although quite possibly no one will want to inherit it as there are a few small puckering issues and one rather large unpleasant looking line of sewing (that I may actually even fix) mostly I going with ‘it has character’ and just adoring it.
Thanks for coming for a look at my radish and ruth blog.
A ‘proper’ quilt- one made from scraps, rather than purpose bought fabric. Well done!
