Old Friends
 
1 Attachment(s)
I was digging to the bottom of my scrap heap to find a few more pieces of fabric to cut up for my Spiderweb quilt and ran across a few old friends. Does anyone recognize these from about 20 years ago?

I remember the ivy prints. Happy New Year - Carolyn

I think I still have some of that light blue on the bottom.

Mariposa 12-31-2012 12:26 PM

I recognize several of them! :)

IrishNY 12-31-2012 12:26 PM

I remember the ivy print and the brown with the little rosebuds. Might still have some of each in a scrap box. Twenty years ago? OMG, I feel old!

SouthPStitches 12-31-2012 12:39 PM

Yes, I used the ivy print in a quilt I made 10 years ago. An oldie but a goodie!

Chasing Hawk 12-31-2012 12:42 PM

I think I have the ivy one and possibly the green fabric with stars.

not only do I recognize the fabrics, I have bolts in assorted colors. Bought an estimated 2,000 yards at a shop owner's estate sale in 2007 and decided to track my usage - over 500 yards so far. Since I'm now retired I can focus on turning it into Project Linus quilts. Luckily for me, the Linus coordinator makes a semi-annual trip to the Warm Company so I don't have to buy batting.

I was gifted about 60 lbs of these fabrics. They are all colors and a variety of patterns. Most are just scraps or less than 1/2 yard cuts. Since I'm a scrappy quilter they are fitting right in with my projects. It's wonderful to find old friends and make good use of them.

I have some of those heart fabrics from four or five years ago, must have been reprints.

Marilynsue 12-31-2012 02:46 PM

Yep! all of the above!

Suzanne Damien 12-31-2012 02:51 PM

Yes I do. As a matter of fact I donated them to a group of church ladies to make quilts for cancer patients.I had so much fabric when I moved Ihad to get rid of it

Oh my yes!!!! Been a while!!! How time flies!!!

Sandee 12-31-2012 03:14 PM

I still have a scrap of that gray & the navy on the right!

pattypurple 12-31-2012 05:36 PM

The brown with rosebuds is the fabric (only in dark blue) that I used for my first quilt. It is still on my bed. Used the leftover pieces to make valances for the windows.

RedGarnet222 12-31-2012 06:01 PM

Oh Lord!! Please don't tell me that some of those are that old. LOL.... I still have some here and there myself. We used to call some of them calico's. Remember that? Gee, I feel so old right now.

Jackie Spencer 12-31-2012 10:02 PM

I made a quilt using the brown and pink only mine was black and pink, made a beautiful quilt.

Seems some of this fabric made it all the way to Australia. One piece looked really familiar.....sure enough it sits right on my sewing table. In the form of a cape on a rather large mouse! I picked up this notions holder at a church charity shop....she looked like she needed rescuing. After unstuffing, a good wash and re-stuff....she was ready for service.:)

Moonglow 12-31-2012 10:55 PM

I have some of the ivy print in my stash - didn't realise it was that old!

Earthwalker - the mouse is cute.

Lori S 01-02-2013 06:40 AM

Nah I don't go back that far with my quilting.

Tink's Mom 01-02-2013 06:57 AM

I have used that heart fabric in many different colors....20 years? Wow, I guess it is...I know that I used some of it in my 20 year old nephews baby quilt.

WMUTeach 01-02-2013 07:09 AM

Yes, I do! I have some of the yellow with the green ivy in my scrap stash! I have the with green hearts in red as well as the back and white hearts in red. I made a dress for one of my daughters out of the that fabric. I used to work in a fabric store and have memories of the gray with diamonds too! Thanks for the trip down fabric memory lane.

carolynjo 01-02-2013 09:50 AM

ube quilting 01-02-2013 04:13 PM

I have some of the blue hearts on the left and the brown rose in the circle. I love that one and put at least one piece in every scrap quilt.

peace

imnywoman 01-02-2013 05:24 PM

Oh boy, do I!! Can we say "country" and "heart" mania?? So funny, I love it!
