A stack of linen and silk (and some batik) purchased last week at a local thrift store's quarter bins. (Technically they are now 50 cent bins, but for so many years the items were a quarter so I still tend to think of them that way.) I'm looking forward to using these. At the moment I'm thinking of using the linen as a base and some of the silk as an applique. Maybe. Still having fun thinking about how to use them.
what fun! don't you just love those bargains.....be sure to share your process. i want to see what comes of this great fabric. and btw: thanks for the lovely comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!
ReplyDeleteI too look forward to see how you'll use them; I have a box of silk shirts and ties from a thrift shop collected over the years.
Great finds!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've been meaning to do that - check out a thrift store or consignment shop for wool, silk, etc. I just may head out this week after seeing your wonderful finds.
ReplyDeleteOh Dear.
ReplyDeleteI am suffering from some Serious ENVY right now!
I don't miss much from living in an urban area but I do miss great restaurants and markets and those fabulous thrift stores.
drool.
Lovely pinks! Silks are so pleasant to handquilt, aren't they?
