Retro vintage sheet score

I'm still slowly pottering on putting together and making more blocks for the Modern Sampler Bee Blocks from last year.  I have one more block to make before I can put them all together to make a quilt for my big pink loving girl - whoohoo!

As such I have been keeping a very keen eye out for a lovely pinkish sheet to be the backing... but no luck, no luck, no luck, until the other week...!  Two days later I on a whim popped into the local Sally store and I just about pee'd my pants when I found these!


Perfect! They're single/king single size flat sheets.  One a bit more worn than the other but overall in fantastic shape.  I am still slightly giddy that I finally not only found the type of sheets I've been looking for forever, but that it was perfect for the quilt!


There were a few other items in this haul that added to the extreme excitement of the trip but I am saving those for the next couple of weeks!

Joining in again! with marvelous Max.

  2. They are really lovely and though i'd never wear them together don't pink and orange make a great combo-super cheery but not garish xxx
