Last of the Florida sewing

I have two months of FQS Mystery BOM at home not completed, but this one was forwarded to me here in Florida so I completed two of them:

And the only other stitching I've completed are these four Joseph's Coat blocks I stitched in the car on the way down:

I still don't know why I didn't bring more along.  I have about 20 more blocks to applique.

Thank you to Nadine at

The Material Girls Quilts for this wonderful book and adding the fabric as a surprise:

If you read my blog, you know I'm a huge fan of Camille and Bonnie and all of their fabric.  I've made a quilt out of her last three lines.  This book is great.

Go check out The Material Girls Quilts blog and shop.

Thank you to Corrie at Retro Mummy for these 5 fatquarters of Sweet Broderie by Rosalie Quinlan designs by Lecien as a runner up prize on her blog:

Don't they look perfect for that Valentine table runner I want to make when I get home?

Corrie's shop is here.

Mon Ami Finish

This month's La Petite project is the wonderful Mon Ami Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.

My fabric choice is Glace by 3 Sisters for Moda.

I finished the top this afternoon:



I avoided the blues in the charm pack and love these colors!  All those HST's are 1 1/2 inch finished and there are LOTS of them!!

I can't wait to get it quilted!

Our little dolly headed North over a week ago and we miss her a lot!

We'll be home in a few weeks Audrey!

Vintage Linens?

When I was in Florida in October, my sister and I came across an estate sale. Even though I have not even looked at vintage linens in the past, I bought these for a very reasonable price. 
This first one is the reason I wanted the stack:

This is a full size 100% cotton border print flat sheet!  I'm thinking a sundress for Audrey in a few years???

++++++

Backing and blocks for a future dream on quilt?

+++++

These are two full flat 100% cotton sheets with this border and the ticking stripe.

On the left a soft dogwood vine full flat sheet that would look great with pastel quilt.  And on the right some bright floral pillowcases.

What do you think?  Do you ever buy vintage linens?  Are these vintage? Would you use them with your quilts?
