More sheets...

I worked on ripping some of my full size sheets into fat quarter-like rectangles.  Ripping is very interesting, once you get past the first rip.  Because the first rip straightens out the grain-line (is that the right word) of the fabric, you will get a wonky rip most of the time.  So I save the bigger wonky parts for something later...

I followed Jeni's advice on sheet ripping...and on sheet shopping.  It is no secret that if I could grow young again I'd want to be her....  ;-)  She is having a sale this weekend, on a side note...

I thought I'd do a litte giveaway for 16 assorted, wonderfully colorful vintage sheet fat quarters....

These are all from my full-size sheet stash...mostly purchased on Ebay or local thrift shops.  The sheets were soaked/washed in a slurry of Oxyclean, Tide and Downy... Honestly, they are ready to use!!  If you are interested, please leave a comment...  I'll pick on Tuesday evening and mail it out on Wednesday.  You could be quilting using vintage sheets by the weekend!  Good luck...

Some great ideas for vintage sheets are available on the Vintage Sheet Blog...or search the groups on flicker for Vintage Sheet quilts/swaps, etc.....lovely eye candy there!!
