Red Velvet Art Update Today!

The Red Velvet Art Update will go live today! Here are a few sneak peeks of a selection of what I'm offering for the Spring Collection.

I'll be offering a limited amount of Vintage Rainbow Quilt Kits. Each kit will contain enough quilt squares for you to mix and match your own rainbow of floral and patterned prints. They each measure about 45" x 45" and come with batting, backing, binding, thread, and instructions for assembling your quilt. Easy enough for the beginner seamstress.

Most quilts feature a one of a kind vintage sheet backing. Patchwork squares shown are representative of the range of colors and prints included in each kit. This truly is the happiest range of colors I've ever worked with!
I've got a few chalkboards in the 10" x 12" size left that will go in this update.

I'll also be sharing these miniature bow clips made from vintage fabric that work for ladies or little girls. EDITED: Check Elsie's blog for the update announcement later today.

xoxo,

Rachel

    Holy cow, I was so bummed that the quilt kits were sold out before I could get one last time! I'm going to be waiting at my computer to snatch one up! Those colors will make for the perfect summer picnic blanket!

    yes, the quilt kits are so lovely! I'm afraid they'll all be gone before I get a chance to get one! I recognize a few of those from my little collection too... but I love all the colors here. Such a happy quilt these would make! xo

    I too was hoping for a quilt kit! Are they all gone already?

    Sad day... I didn't see the quilt kits OR the chalk boards when I got up this morning... Everything must have sold out while I was sleeping. :(

    Being Germany DOES have a downside.
