Well, my love for vintage linens has now crossed over to include quilts. I have been admiring many of my fellow bloggers' quilts and began to keep an eye out for one. I checked out eBay, but they seem to be super expensive on there. However, to my luck, I found one two weekends ago at the Royal Oak Flea Market and it was actually in my price range ($15).
While it does have a few flaws (some minor tears and stains, the pink blocks are faded), I am in LOVE with this quilt. I let it soak for about a day and probably should have let it soak longer, but I was so excited to wash and dry it so I could use it!!
Here's the whole quilt. There are pink blocks in between the tulips that have the tulip pattern stitched into the quilt. Its bigger than a twin size and smaller than a double bed size, but I think it could work well as a topper over another comforter.
These two tulips include some of my favorite material that is used in this quilt. I just love old feedsack!!
The economy here in Michigan has now begun to effect my booth. Sales have been down since the Christmas season and I have decided to temporarily shut down my booth at the end of April. I am thinking of doing a flea market this summer instead and listing more items in my etsy. Any thoughts or suggestions? I figured that since around here the flea market venue has become quite popular that I might do better at moving out some of my items.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend!!
