Happy Tuesday!
I think I am going to name Sue our roving reporter. She always sends me the most interesting things! So to start us off... how about a talk about scrap quilts?
Sue sent this wonderful video about scrap quilts!
Yes, I prefer the term "humble" instead of scrap!

How about some free quilt patterns?
Art Gallery Fabrics has a free pattern page here!

Weird Musing: An item (like a quilt) is considered an antique if it is 100 years old.
A vintage item is at least 20 years old (according to most websites). I have also heard a quilt needs to be 30 or 40 years old to be considered vintage.
Retro is also a term thrown around these days. It means it's old (but not vintage or antique) and probably out of style which may make it hip.
In 8 years, quilts from the 1930s will officially be antique.
Quilts from 2002, 1992 and/or 1982 are considered vintage ??? That freaks me out. I'm off to sew...

Have a safe and happy day!
The picture of the toy sewing machine makes me sweat! They would make me so frustrated. Never worked well. Just did chain stitch. I was about 9 yrs old when I declared they should all be thrown in the ocean and started using my mother's Kenmore. Almost 70 yrs later and I still haven't recoverd.
