I counted my vintage sheets recently - I have twenty! And don't even ask me about how many vintage pillowcases I have acquired...it's my addiction. Especially if there is embroidery. The softness and sweet prints of vintage linens just can't be beat.
Vintage sheets have been backing my quilts for years, but now I am using them for different projects. Like using them for waistbands and ties on my craft vendor aprons (photo on left), or my latest project: fat quarter bundles which are for sale in my Etsy shop. What could you do with these pretty lovelys? I'll be making some things and posting in the near future. So stayed tuned...

You really are obsessed...in a great way. I guess that just means you need a bigger craft room:)
Yes darling daughter, I am obsessed with vintage linens and crafting. I have to be now that you and your brother have moved out so I don't go through the dreaded "empty nest sydrome"! I'm thankful to have a craft room too... Love you!
I just became a follower today. :) I found you through the vintage sheets blog... I'm so glad I found you because your work is so adorable! I love the embroidered pillowcases that you have found!
Thank you sandandstarfish. It is nice to know there are so many of us out there that love vintage linens! Part of the fun of designing with these lovely embroidered pillowcases is imagining some grandmother somewhere stitching up these pillowcases...such a lost art!
