Piles of vintage scrap pieces in every color!
Green, purple, pink, red, blue, yellow, orange fabrics.
With each turn of the pile, more wonderful prints surfaced...
Even an apron in this wonderful green.
I kept saying to myself, "Look at this one!"
"And this one!"
"Ooh, I love this one!"
I would have had a hard time throwing away this Chinaman scrap too. Very 40's, I think. To my excited email thanking her, Barbara shared that these scraps were from her mother and aunt, mostly 40's to 60's, and contained many fabrics from which they had made clothes for her. I think some fabrics might be earlier as they look like feedsack prints to me. Won't they make a glorious scrap quilt?

Oh, what a treasure! One woman's trash.... : )
Lucky Lucky fabric finds. Sew nice to have original/non-reproduction fabrics. You must be in heaven!
Treasure, indeed!
Oh happy day! Have fun.
How fun to dig through those scraps and discover each one!!
Oh my goodness Annie. You hit the motherload!So beautiful!
What fun! All those scraps would make a beautiful scrappy quilt.
What fun!! You have a wonderful collection of vintage goodies, Annie.
I've learned to never say no to fabric, if it isn't useful I can throw it away...more than likely, I'll use it for something!
Annie what a gift! They will make the most wonderful scrap quilt. Have fun :-)
Annie,
What wonderful scraps- so thirties and nostalgia like - they will make a brilliant scrap quilt. I have a small collection of 30's fabrics that I won a number of years ago- I think they would be brilliant in a string pattern or a dresden plate or a double wedding ring design.. Perhaps even tumbling blocks or grandmother's flower garden... All those blocks are great for scraps.. Have fun playing- I am sure you will create something beautiful..
Regards,
Anna
Ooooh, those are wonderful! I think I'd be using that Chinaman scrap as a bookmark.
Drooling here with envy. Gorgeous fabrics! One man's trash ...
Oh, Annie, what a bonanza! And what a sweet friend!
