Many people ask where I get my materials. The answer is it began with my extra special Aunt Nancy cleaning out unfinished quilts from the early 1900s. She had a quilting machine business making these tops into quilts. People would drop things off and she would find some. She isn’t creating quilts so much presently and she started to send me a few boxes…to see what I could do with them. From there my Aunt Carol joined in and I have explored small town, my summer trip, websites and at times, like from Aunt Nancy I get a package.

This great vintage linen shirt came via mail from a first time customer that wanted to pass on a great linen item that she never wore and wanted to see if I could make use of it!

This has turned into “Get the Glasses-It’s Saturday” shirt and is a PERFECT hot summer tunic for a picnic by the river, going to the grocery store or make a statement on a summer trip!!. Light-weight linen.
