GladRags

for sale on Ebay
sold
It was own-clothes day yesterday. The teachers were as excited as the students about showing off their individuality! They were all in jeans, almost without exception, with loads of preposterous hats with stickers on the brim, loads of Big Trainers, lots of waists and hips I've never seen before and some rare beauty (who knew R was so gorgeous?). Oh my, I love it when human beings strut their stuff.
I'm selling the vintage feed-sack quilt blocks above on Ebay as I am amassing too much stuff…sadly I can't justify having so many lovely pieces of fabric, neither our house nor my budget will stand it. These gorgeous blocks came from America, and I've used quite a few similar ones already to make various little things, some for sale in my Etsy shop…pot holders, brooches, bracelets. I love working with old, frayed and 'discovered' fabric, I'm hoping this lot will go to a good home!

In which I am spoiled

Mother's day! Delicious breakfast cooked by number one daughter, very skilled! Flowers and presents! Morning spent larking around in the loft with my favourite vintage fabrics (feed sack and ancient old quilting), sewing, posting brooches and bracelets to rags&tatters (my Etsy shop), while simultaneously watching old films on Youtube (that's multi-tasking). Then we all had a wonderful afternoon catching up with family. It was lovely to see daughter and husband so relaxed and happy with aunties, uncles and cousins!
