Sharing my love for vintage textiles, and doing my best to keep them out of landfills!

I haven’t started mine either, and I’m not pretending otherwise. 🦝

Every pretty thing I bring home goes in the tub before it goes anywhere near my good quilts.

This one looked perfectly clean.

The water had other ideas. 🦝

I found this in a box full of random sewing crap from an estate sale.

The back is bumpy. Like a washboard 🧐

I had all the theories — maybe it’s a washboard for doll clothes, maybe it’s Braille so you can read your measurements by touch — and settled on the little bumps acting like traction control to keep the ruler from slipping when cutting.

1980s quilters… is this why?

Somebody sat down and stitched each and every one of those little crosses by hand.

I’m not about to let that go to the landfill.

Equal opportunity rescuer, remember? 🦝

Happy National Cat Day from the shop where I am absofreakinglutely not in charge. 🦝

My staff is made up of cats, and today is officially their day.

Your turn!

Show me who’s really running things at your house.
