Lorraine shared her amaryllis which is blooming now!
Whooo-hoo!
Beth called yesterday and she wanted to share with us a video that Mary Fons (daughter of Marianne Fons) has made. She has taken a stand against a trend that is surfacing...again.
Antique and vintage quilts are again being used to make clothes. The video is here. I've seen example of this on Instagram and a few other websites and it is nothing short than disgraceful. I'm not sure the video below is working which is why I gave you the link above.

I'm hoping that all of you have power and are warm and safe at home. The ice storm is here now. The silence is strange--no cars or anything moving out there. Stay safe and warm and if you have to go out...bundle up!
Have a safe and happy weekend!
I watched that video. I had no idea this was a thing and such a bad one at that. However, I do remember seeing flying geese being used in a dress on the run way recently...I assumed it was newly sewn, not a vintage quilt. Yikes, more folks need to know about this practice!
ReplyDeleteI tried to watch this when I first heard about it I guess I'm over sensitive because I couldn't make it through due to her profanity
ReplyDeleteand bad language. But, I do understand her concern.
I made a quilted maternity dress (wish I had a picture) but I quilted the fabric in the skirt myself! It was winter and all I had on hand was cotton.

I remember in the early 90s there were all kinds of patterns for quilted sweatshirts. Use the same idea and make your own, from scratch and a sweatshirt. NEVER EVER cut up a quilt for clothing. That is just way too lazy!
