Here's a sneak peak at a couple pieces of clothing I picked up while thrift shopping last weekend. The purple corduroy overalls and the cozy wool vest (I think the tag is in swedish) were both under three dollars. I scored huge finds this weekend. I'm hoping to post photos soon. (did i tell you that I have new plans to start an online Etsy shop with vintage baby clothes? more about that later...)
It's a few days to Christmas and Ivy present is far from being finished. A little too ambitious? I am determined to finish this diamond-patterned quilted play mat. I even bought red and white polka-dot patterned waterproof tablecloth-type material from ikea for the underside of the mat so we can take it to the park and use it on the grass.
Here's my inspiration, from the blog Urban Patchwork.
Earlier today I somehow ended up on the website of Little Studio, a Swedish printshop (I think I followed a link from DesignMilk). I saw this print, called Little Fox, and immediately thought of how great the simple, blocky design would translate so well to a multi-square quilt. Def. a contender for my next quilting project, if I survive the stress of completing Ivy's play mat for Christmas!
