Are you smitten with those lovely vintage sheets finding new life in a quilt? I certainly am! It's fascinating that we can make old new again, and absolutely beautiful.

So when I happened along this booth at the National Quilting Associations' Annual Show here in Columbus, my interest was piqued.....

This is Dusty's Vintage Linens and Buttons. Selling solely at shows, these ladies' booth was amazing! They collect vintage linen table cloths from the 1940s and 1950s and a rainbow of vintage buttons.

Some of the linens are new and unused with the original labels. They look fabulous quilted!

After seeing all this, I could not resist. This is the table cloth I wanted, but couldn't afford.

So while I was lingering in the booth forever, I heard that the vintage dish cloths make great table runners. Ding! Ding! Now that's something my wallet could cover. Here's the one I picked out...

And here it is finished and sitting pretty on my table....

I love it! I added a gingham binding and that was it. Who would have thought a dish towel of all things could be so beautiful!
