This morning I watched an Instagram discussion between @zakfoster.quilts and @amandanagidart. Among other things they mentioned colours not worn but used in quilts such as pink and purple. Purple was a nostalgic colour as sometimes a grandma made a granddaughter a purple quilt or knitted a purple beanie. So it was reminiscent of childhood. This got me thinking about purple in my stitching life and I recalled this sweet needle case. It was unfinished from the 80’s , the front pansy had been worn away a bit but moths because it couldn’t be wear as it was just sitting waiting in three parts to be finished. So inspired by this mornings discussion I decided to finish it. First I patched up the front pansy, then blanket stitched around the front piece before finally putting alll three layers together.
So is it vintage? Unused vintage?
