This sort of looks like some old feedsack fabrics I have seen before, but I am not really sure how old it is. The pattern is very small and the ovals remind me of cameos, but with little blue flower bouquets. The background is a continuous vine in purple.
well, I guess these blocks are going to get done in a timely manner, partner! This is one of the projects that I am working on, the other is still in the brainstorming stage.
This 1930's log cabin feedsack quilt top was attached to a heavy comforter with a really bad thick floral 1980's border on it. I almost have it removed (they double stitched it!) Then I need to replace just a few pieces that are torn from where it was tied and then quilt it. This one's worth the restoration.
Hanging out at home on our Liberty Single Girl quilt with a pillow that Gina made me and the Uppercase Feedsacks book!
A better view of the quilt top I bought yesterday. I removed the ugly border and the thick batting. It was tied in the yellow centers so some of them are ripped and need replacing. It's hand pieced and will someday be hand quilted. It's got to wait in line.
I am finished, bound and the label is going on today! I am ready to ship....where do you think this is going.
Now I am getting really nervous! I hope you like this partner! I have my fingers crossed!
The apron is hanging on a little button, and just so you know where to put it, I quilted "apron" underneath! I put some quilted bricks over the fridge and tiles on the floor!
This pouch was long forgotten. Back in time I made these 2 panels, just because. Sort of experiment.
My friend Elnora, aka elnorac www.flickr.com/photos/elnorachambers/ emailed me later that day, to oh ! and awwww! over my blocks. She loved them. Later I decided to turn them into this cute pouch and send it to her.,
Nothing better than giving away your much loved work to a friend, you know will cherish it forever. She also reminded me that I had never posted its pics. So here are them.
There's a mix of modern prints, vintage, feedsack, japanese and lots of linen. Added a sweet sewing machine charm for extra cuteness;)
Hugo saved for over a year to buy this Kodak Brownie camera from the pawn shop. It is his favourite thing in the world.

Used the shape and size of the "241 Tote" by Anna Graham (aka noodlehead) for this quilt as you go bag, though I didn't put in the charming side panels, as I thought it'd be too bulky to manage. Anna's pattern is for sale here:
www.noodle-head.com/2011/03/241-tote-pattern.html
I adore that pattern and use it for my everyday purses.
Learned the quilt-as-you-go technique in two tutorials, one by Chase (aka quarter inch mark on Flickr):

And one by Penny (aka sewtakeahike on Flickr) at:

The strap is a strip of buttery-soft leather, which I sewed directly into the top seam of the bag when I sewed exterior and lining together. A denim needle made it easy.
Check out that crazy good hunk of feedsack, given to me as a surprise by Jenny (aka www.flickr.com/people/krousegirl2/) when I made an order from her Etsy shop. Is that great, or what??!!?
Thanks to some of my dear online sewing friends for gifting me some of the fabrics in this bag: Paula (www.flickr.com/photos/neweyes2009/), Ayumi (www.etsy.com/shop/ayumills?ref=ss_profile), Teri (www.flickr.com/photos/craktpot/), and Sakizome (www.etsy.com/shop/sakizome).

Pieces from a vintage quilt that I saved, getting ready to be made into needle books or swing kits.
