Christmas crafting and decorating

 I love to embroider and sew. I had rescued some old quilts and decided to do a few fun projects. 

I adore the scenery in Pennsylvania Dutch county. When I saw the laundry hanging on wash day, I was inspired to make “Quilts On A Line”. 

I took the quilts that were falling apart and made mini versions. 

I loved them and have sold several sets. They look so cute hanging from a shelf or in the laundry room. 

As I was cutting one of the quilts, I notice there were layers of different fabrics. These ranged from feed sacks to wool to items of clothing. I carefully pealed back each layer to preserve the history of the sewn layers.  I decided to incorporate the pieces of fabrics into my other creations as well. I made pockets and pocket hearts to hold treasures. 

I also have some of my embroidery art banners using my vintage fabric finds!

I am offering these on my Etsy CottageWishes  as well!  I will share more pictures how I incorporated into my Christmas decorations in my next post. 

Have a wonderful day.
