This week...

This week I bought myself some lovely vintage fat quarters from Vintage Sheet Addict on Etsy. I have already started cutting them up in to 3" squares for my quilt. I can't wait for it to all start coming together. The fabrics are all rather fabulous patterns, bright colours and in great condition so they will be absolutely perfect.

I also bought myself this rather cute glass container from a charity shop for 99p. It has a blue house one one side and a pink house on the other, I have no idea where it came from originally but I am using it to keep all my mini fabric scraps together.

What crafty projects are you working on at the moment?

Vintage Sheet Swap UK

I have been amassing a small collection of vintage sheets, pillow cases and duvet covers over the past couple of months and decided it was time to put them to good use.

I am cutting out 3" squares to make a patchwork quilt. After I started I realised that my colour palette was a bit limited, so I wondered if any of you vintage lovers out there would be interested in a vintage sheet fat quarter swap? I have plenty of fabric left over - they are all cotton or polycottons that are clean and washed - some are slightly faded but I think that it adds to the charm!
I was thinking of keeping the swap mainly here in the UK but if postage costs are reasonable then I would happily send elsewhere.

If you have some fabrics that you would like to swap, I would love to hear from you! please email me - minnievintage@yahoo.com
