What if

I thought I was done buying grandma's old sheets at the thrift store. 

But I looked at my dwindling pile and started to panic.

What if I need curtains?

What if I need a prairie skirt?
What if I need quilt backs?
What if I need a toga? 

What if I need more wedding quilts?
What if I want to be a shower curtain for Halloween?
What if I need table cloths for a summer party?
And what if I only want to pay $1 a yard for such fabrics??

So I started buying again. 
What if I want to make another one of these?
Or this?


Whew, good thing I've started collecting again.

  5. These are beauties! I just don't seem to have good luck finding pretty vintage sheets. I guess I need to keep looking.

  9. I never see any at our thrift stores around here. It is so funny though- I remember some of those patterns from long ago.

  12. My favorite use is the back of quilts. Love that. Dumbo was outlawed at my house when my then 3 year old cried and cried when Dumbo was separated from his mother. She still doesn't forgive me for letting her watch this and she's 29 this year.
