I heart vintage fabric


I've made a start on my Christmas stockings
using the chenille that I showed you in my last post .


and because I am tight  no stingy no frugal I have
been making very good use of the scraps
and making some little hearts filled with lavendar.
These smell so beautiful .

How are your Christmas preparations going ?

    I am a chenille addict and this post made my heart beat a little bit faster. Bless your stingy ...err frugal heart . Those hearts are gorgeous.

    My Christmas prep would be going great guns if I could find the motivation to quilt my Christmas quilt, I keep avoiding it by starting new quilts.

    My preparations consist of screaming loudly when the children say "Mum you know there are only 12 weeks to Christmas - what do you want for your birthday!" eeeekkkkkk
    Your preparations are so much nicer and way more practical than mine!

    Hello Clare,

    Those hearts are beautiful. I am sure we had sheets like the ones you are using up as kids. They certainly had bright sheets back then.
    Happy Christmas creating.

    I keep adding it to my 'to-do' list and at the end of every week it's still there!
    Great idea for the scraps.

    I adore chenille. I don't think I'd be able to instigate a Ok This is So Small It's Getting Silly cut-off point for chenille scraps.
