Giveaway Time!!!

*The Giveaway is now closed*

I am so excited to be able to host a giveaway! I have wondered what others would like and what I could offer. I finally settled on some fat quarters or fat eighths of vintage pillowcases coming to a least a total of 1 yard, but probably more.
Here is a preview of what I have and will cut for the winner (click on the pictures to get a bigger, closer look at the pillowcases).

Yellows/Oranges:

To enter, leave a comment letting me know what you would like to do with the vintage fabric. Post about my giveaway on your blog, and I'll give you an extra chance. Just leave a second comment with a link to your blog entry. That is it. I'll use a random number generator to find a winner next Wednesday (Oct. 28th).

Just for those of you who love vintage sheets and pillowcases, this is a picture of my favorite one.

  1. Lovely vintage linens! I love old sheets and pillowcases for sewing. I scour the thrift shops for great patterns (I even lucked out on an almost mint condition Smokey The Bear forest friends bedspread from the 60s!).
    I would use these lovelies to make a stacked-coin lap quilt.
