My grandmother made this little doll quilt later in her life. It was occupational therapy while recovering from something or other (living in Oz the details were sketchy as they didn't want to worry me or something like that. Very frustrating.) These fabrics are not cotton. Think polyester.
These prints scream sixties and seventies to me.
The herringbone stitch is a nice touch.
A rogue woven fabric - a coat? skirt? vest?
My grandmother loved her polyester suits. But I'm sure she didn't have this many. I believe the fabrics were shared amongst the group in recovery.
Nothing like a good op-shop to find this stuff.
Incredibly, my family sent me a bag of polyester scraps and a huge polyester flimsy... which I've blogged about before but haven't done anything with yet... it's mind boggling and will probably be cut into small quilts. That one didn't have any hand stitching like this little beauty.
I'm sure my grandmother had a green poly suit...
What's hiding in your cupboard?
