I Heart Fridays ~ Feedsack Fabric

Last weekend I had the pleasure of hanging out with gal pal Lisa Price of Vintage Goodies and Art Goodies. I'd always been curious about feedsack fabric and Lisa was the perfect person to hep me to it. She has an amazing stash and gave me a nice little tutorial on identification! Here's a little selection of some of my favorites...



Love those homey retro patterns! 

Fabric from Lisa's stash often end up on items in her ArtGoodies shop...like the ties on this cute rooster apron...
 Mmm feedsack fabric...LOVE it :)

I Heart Fridays ~ Quilt Smitten


I was smitten the second I spied this precious baby quilt hanging on a thrift store rack.

What's not to love? The softness. The spring green blocks and backing.




The adorable hand embroidered little animals.


The amazingly tiny stitches of the hand quilting.


Simply beautiful!
