What have I been up to?

As promised, what I've been making...

 

My Samy Cakes baby quilt of course :D! Made entirely of vintage sheets, and the center squares are a few choice baby clothes he wore during his first year of life. YAY! Forgive the terrible photographs, but weather and lighting have NOT been on my side lately! So, this happenes to be my first quilt -as I haven't done any sewing for years. ...ok well technically it's my second. The first was a baby gift I quilted in my early 20's, and didn't have the slightest clue as to what I was doing, but that's a whole other subject heehee. I'm really rusty as you can tell. The color and pattern choices are not the best, neither are the placements lol! But it's made with so much love and determination! It still needs some work, so here's hoping it comes out as I'm hoping!

In other news (hehe), I've been thifting again for VSs'. Not all of these are from the same shopping day, I'm just behind on taking photographs. So I got these VSs'...

 And these Vintage Pillowcases (VPs')...

 Totally in love with the Pink/Fuchsia VS and VP! The very top on both photos ;D. I'm hoping to have my FQ's done soon and listed in my store. And since I'm new to blogging, please feel free to copy and paste the address mentioned above :D! Newho, happy thrifting, quilting & what have you!

My "Almost New" Hobby

Lately I've been consumed with my new hobby, sewing with vintage sheets (VS's) :) I never thought it would be anything I'd love doing, but now it's all I can think of lol! I've been collection VS's like these...

...and vintage pillow cases like these...

Then I rip them up into Fat Quarters (FQ's), like these...

 ...and these :) 

Coordinate...

  and get them ready for this baby...

 

My vintage Brother Window-Matic! Oh how I adore this lovey straight-stitch hunk-o-metal :). She runs like a dream too, though I have been dreaming of a Janome MC 4800. Yes it's an older model, but I have been dreaming of it for quite some time now. One day she'll be mine hehe!

Newho, I'll show you what I'm going to work on! YAY! Of course I have to finish my first project, so that will come first. I just didn't have photo's of it yet :(  See ya next time!

Hugs & Love, Veronica

Downtown Denver :) I don't usually like going into the city, but I've found myself heading in quite often these days. I do love the hustle and bustle of downtown Denver, however...

The traffic scares the b-Jesus out of me! Luckily for me, my Hubby was driving. So all I had to do was grab the "o-crap!" handle every now and again! All in all, it was a fun trip!
