I love shopping at second-hand stores, garage sales, flea markets, thrift stores, ect--
anywhere I can find a bargain.
I found this jewel at Flashbacks RetroShop in Mountain Home.
It was on the floor near some of the handmade hippy dresses. I thought it was a dress that had fallen off the rack but when I picked it up I realized that it was an almost complete queen size quilt top that had been beautifully hand stitched. Price $10.
I got started on finishing it right away!
For some reason light blue was not an option easily found in a queen flat sheet so I bought one in white and hand dyed it. As I was stuffing the sheet into the sink with the dye water I accidentally hit the stopper and before I was able to get the whole sheet wet the sink was empty. I was able to make due and turns out I liked the results. It looks like clouds (almost tie-dyed look). I suppose it fits with the fact that I bought the top at a hippy shop.
