5-10-14: Some New "Old" Quilts

Mother Olive and I have been sewing up a storm this winter - sort of matching the winter stormy weather we had! We had several items on our "to-do" list we wanted to make for the few summer craft fairs we do....here are the results of the upcycling / recycling / repurposing of vintage chenille into new quilts:

 

These are our four new quilts since we sold five others we've made....hopeful these quilts popularity lasts!

Cheers!

11-3-13: Two more new quilts

I cannot believe November is already here.  Halloween is now over and Thanksgiving will be rolling right into town.  We have two new quilts to show off.  Maybe one of these will be a good Christmas present for someone you know?

Vintage chenille in pink and teal - and white!

October 30: Outdoor Craft Show & New Items

Our little town of Long Beach has a few arts organizations that got together to do Sunday "Arts in the Plaza".  I've exhibited 4 times since May - I intended to do 4 other shows, but the weather worked against us twice, the event was cancelled by City Hall on 9/11, and another time I was just too tired form working a garage sale the day before.  So with that in mind, I set out to exhibit on the last Sunday.  Now, Old Man Winter stepped in yesterday and threw the Northeast a nasty snow storm.  The temps didn't get above the mid 40s today.  I lasted 4 hours and was done.  BUT I did sell a onesie set and a chenille quilt.  :-)

Since I called Mr. Olive to come get me at 2pm, I then spent the afternoon battling pictures and new listings.  I managed to get 4 new new posted - two new corduroy skirts and two new vintage chenille quilts.  I have one other skirt to post along with the two jumpers....What do you think?

 

New Quilts!

New chenille quilts will be coming to the shop soon!!  Well, they are 'new' to us, but most are of vintage chenille.  Only the mint green and pastel blue is of new chenille.  What do you think? I love the bright blue and the purple vintages, but also the softness of the vintage pale blues.  Since there is snow all over up here in New York, the pictures are indoor shots - not our ideal, but when we can, outdoor pictures will replace.  What do you think?  Which is the favorite of the bunch?
