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.
|
I recognize several of them! :)
|
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!
|
Yes, I used the ivy print in a quilt I made 10 years ago. An oldie but a goodie!
|
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.
|
Yep! all of the above!
|
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
:) |
The grey, hearts and brown, prob still have a bit of it somewhere.
|
Oh my yes!!!! Been a while!!! How time flies!!!
|
I still have a scrap of that gray & the navy on the right!
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.:)
|
I have some of the ivy print in my stash - didn't realise it was that old!
Earthwalker - the mouse is cute. |
I have the bottom larger piece

I have the grey (darkest) and the one with the stars...I collect old fabrics and get a lot at estate sales...I make mostly scrap quilts and '30's.

I was thinking I didn't have any of those fabrics, but I did! LOL
|

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

Yep, I have scraps of several of those in my scrap bag as well.
|
I have the one on the left!
|
Oh boy, I think I recognize all but 2
|
I also have the brown w/the rosebuds
|
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.

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