I love vintage tablecloths. I love to quilt them and give them a new life/purpose.

I found this one last summer at my church yard sale....YAY! I added fabrics from my stash....and made it into this quilt.

I love that I found so many modern fabrics in my stash that compliment this decades old tablecloth. So this project cost me time & 50 cents. Everything else came from my stash.


I quilted it last night. Simple designs to match the whole modern theme. It did need some extra stabilizer on the back tablecloth. It wasn't perfectly square...and due to the weave of the fabric I wasn't going to be able to make it completely square. So I just worked it in best I could. That's kind of the bugger of working with vintage items...but I love the finish. As soon as I wash it it will drape properly and be used.

The tablecloth looks great and as usual the quilting is spectacular.

Very pretty! Do you use it for a quilt or for a tablecloth?

I love the whole idea of quilting a vintage table cloth.. This one is wonderful.

What a great idea! This turned out so modern and wonderful. You can bet I will be checking out the tablecloths at the yard and church sales from now on. You have inspired me to think "outside the box". Thanks for that!!!

PS: Forgot to ask: When you do those long straight quilting lines mixed in with the circles, do you quilt the long lines first or the circles first or as you are doing the lines, do you do the circles as you come to them?

PSS: I would love to come to your house and be a bug on the wall so I could watch and learn how you think and do your quilting. Your work is always so well done and appropriate to the quilt.
