Fabric Find

You know I'm always on the lookout for reproduction fabric and I found some that I want to show you.
Mr. Honey took me to dinner the other night and while we were waiting for our table, I walked next door to the Cotton Shop to see what I could find.
I found fat quarters from the "Antique Treasures" collection by Paintbrush Studios. I picked out 10 of my favorite ones to add to my collection.
I'm really pleased with their very vintage look. I took a close up of each so that you could see the fun details.






















It sure was fun to bring them home and add then to my 30's stash, although I don't know when I will get to play with them...I'm a little frustrated about not being able to work on some of the projects that I havn't got to in a while. Life just seems to get in the way!!!
Oh well, like Scarlet O'Hara said...I think about that tomorrow:)

  5. Aren't we happy when our husbands will indulge us by waiting in a quilt shop while we peruse and touch the pretty fabrics? (Especially on a date night) Great finds.

  6. Really great fabrics. Our local quilt shop doesn't carry the reproduction fabrics from that era. I love them - but then I LOVE all fabrics!! Would like to have a half yard of everything.
