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?

Happy Halloween!.....and some new stuff.

Happy 10-31-10!  What kid doesn't like Halloween?  When younger, my brothers and sister and friends and I used to try to hit every house in our development.  There were 9 blocks and then houses along the main road.  I always felt confident we'd make it to every single one and then inevitably, when we'd be furthest from our home, I'd feel like I could not walk another step.  One good thing about where I live now - Long Beach - the houses aren't so far apart, but it isn't a private block, so lots of traffic.  I know years from now when Little Olive is trick-or-treating with her friends, I'm going to be a nervous-wreck.  For now, here she is choosing a pumpkin:

And some hot-of-the sewing-machine projects include a vintage blue chenille quilt (truly a one-of-a-kind gift and available on our website http://www.olivestreetstudio.com/ ) and some new handbags......Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
