Old meets New

I am so excited to share this new quilt with you. I shared a sneak peek on the previous post.  For those of you that regularly read my blog you know that I sometimes test patterns for the very creative Stephanie. She calls her pattern testers Supremes. She has a new blog called Rummage. She shares the most fun stuff on her blog. One of the things she shares is awesome new patterns that she has created. This is one of her newest. Stephanie is calling her new pattern Rummage but I am calling mine Old meets New.
I am calling my quilt Old meets New because of the fabrics I used.  Stephanie sent some lovely feedsacks and other vintage fabrics for me to use. The photo below is actually some that she sent as a gift several years ago. I also added new fabrics in the quilt that looked vintage.
This is one of my favorite feedsacks so I used this as my guide for my fabric choices.

I also won some vintage bed sheet fat quarters several years ago. I have been saving them and the feedsacks for the perfect quilt and Rummage was it. Some of those bed sheets were used in the quilt.
Stephanie will be making the pattern available soon. All her patterns are in pdf form now. Go by her blog to let her know you are interested. You can also see her lovely quilt.
Can you find the vintage fabrics in the quilt? This is the fabric I used on the back of the quilt. Isn't it cute? My friend Laura did the machine quilting for me.
You can see another quilt that Stephanie created on Candace's blog. So pretty. Ask Stephanie about it too.


I thought I would have another giveaway so you could make a Rummage quilt too. The photo above is 2 fat quarters  (vintage bed sheets), half of a fat quarter vintage bed sheet, and the pink is part of a feed sack. If you live outside the USA this giveaway is for you. Just let me know you would like a chance and what country you live in.

I am giving this 5" high stack of scraps to someone who lives in the USA. These scraps would be great in the Rummage quilt and some pieces would work for a string quilt. Have fun going through them. I always love someone else's scraps better than my own. ;0)

If your enter either of these giveaways please make sure that I have an email address so that I can contact you if you should win. I noticed a lot of you that entered my giveaway from the last post did not have your email address under your profile. You might have been the winner on some other blog giveaway but there was no way to contact you.

I will announce the winners next weekend sometime. Good luck!

With Passion,
Carrie P.

  17. Carrie, your quilt evokes childhood memories of being raised by Nana and how invaluable and comforting were her 'old' ways. It's beautiful! I'd love to win the vintage sheet fabrics... x

  24. Your Old vs New quilt would be perfect in a shabby chic bedroom. But I love the soft colors and simple design of this quilt -- vintage yet current enough to appeal to almost anyone. Truly lovely.

  30. I love your Old Meets New quilt! The USA scrap pile looks very enticing, especially since it's already cut into strips. Those fabrics would fit in with my pineapple log cabin project perfectly, and you're right -- I'm getting tired of the fabrics in my OWN scrap pile! :-)
