I have been sorting through my recent vintage fabric bounty. Many of the fabrics are at least 50 years old and I have been struck by how modern they are and how design ideas are never new, just reinvented. These coarse weave feedsack scraps look just like Kei dots
And these lovely bits- this is all I have but aren't they lovely!- remind me strongly of Echino prints both in colour and style.
What goes around comes around with fabric pattern design.
I have two full weeks off work- hurrah! And we have a week off together so this week is about family time, and besides I burnt my arm on the iron and need to let it heal before I hit the sewing machine again. So I'll be in and out this week and I'll post the Go! Baby giveaway next week once I've had a chance to test the other dies. Have a great week, I know I will x
Hope your arm heals swiftly.

Beautiful 'vintage snippets'. Hope your arm heals soon, and you have some nice family time - I burnt 3 of my knuckles off, on the edge of the iron just before holiday - looked like I'd been punching hard!
