Thrifty Goodness

I have given into the quilting bug. I haven't made anything yet, but I'm scouting for fun fabrics to play with. I found these goodies in the napkin bin at the thrift store. I actually could use some extra cloth napkins so maybe I'll keep a few as is. My fav is the green with tiny flowers. It has to be from the 70's.

Soft, round and chunky

While in FL, I found a cool used book store with this groovy 70's DIY book called make it yourself. I think it is one in a series, but this was the only one they had. Among tips on tailoring and general sewing, there were a few cool knit/crochet patterns and fun ideas.

This floor cushion was titled "Soft, round and chunky" Sounds good to me. I don't think it would quite go with my decor though. Gotta love the model!

I found this crazy afghan inspiring. The colors are more blues and aqua, but it's not showing up that bright in the photo.

My favorite is this sweet baby bonnet in non-pastel colors. I think it would be extra nice with a flannel lining. hmmm....
