I wanted to do another art quilt with fabrics chosen by someone else, so I bought a one-pound asssortment from Ramen Hands, a new-to-me seller on Etsy. The order just arrived and blew me away, especially one piece of sacking. The latter is a fabric I like to use as background/foundation fabric for my art quilts, and it's a huge piece in perfect condition. I look for that all the time and can never find it.
I was also intrigued by the seller's Estate Sale in a Box listing, which offered different "rooms" you could choose. I ordered the craft room, which sounded like my kind of thing, and came in a pretty bag.
This was such an awesome surprise: the bag was overflowing with vintage fabrics, patterns, trims, lace, beads, sheet music, decorative papers, stamps, old photos and more.
The most beautiful piece was this antique faux pearl and rhinestone neck collar; it's like a mini waterfall of sparkle. It really felt like I'd sent a personal shopper to an estate sale to pick out the most inspiring pieces for me. Highly recommend this seller to anyone wanting some fun.
