Beginning to fill up my Etsy shop with lots of lovely fabrics.

 Well we had a good SALE of textiles and textile related items, on Thursday.
Because it is Easter at the moment, I thought I would leave the SALE up on facebook as I know some people go away for a few days
You can see the link at the image on the previous post.
i must admit I am beginning to feel more rested now, especially as I've had a few good nights sleep. I hadn't realised how rushing backwards to the hospital for almost three months, had worn me down.
I still go to see mum but now that she is in a nursing home the stress of her care and well-being is under control.
SO
I have spent today sorting out some lovely fabrics for the shop and the one's you can see on this post are now listed at
Everyone is welcome to have a quick browse.

Beautiful vintage French fabric with roses, ribbons and bows

Just placed this lovely fabric in
I just love pink roses.
Roses, ribbon and bows are so romantic.
This fabric would make a beautiful boudoir cushion.
 
 Lily of the valley flowers are one of my favourite flowers.

Vintage French fabric with pink roses

 There is the most superb design of trailing roses on this vintage French fabric.

The light was bad today and you will notice a difference in colour in some of the photo's. I apologise for this. The true colours ad pale pinks with a ruby pink for the stripes.

Vintage French fabric - Indienne cotton design

Now in my etsy shop - http://www.etsy.com/shop/RagRescue

There is a beautiful floral Indienne design on this vintage French cotton fabric.

The fabric has the stamps - By Charles Demery S A. Tissu Souleiado

Souleiado is not the only producer of such Indienne prints today, but it is the oldest, established in c.1806
Souleiado; the word in old Provençal means ''a ray of sun shining through the clouds after a rain.''

Due to demand, in 1977, the cottons were printed in factories, instead of by hand blocking.

The colour and design on this fabric lend itself towards use for Christmas items. Cushion covers, table mats, table runners etc would all add that little extra cheerfulness at Christmas time.

30.5cms x 31cms

I have four pieces of this fabric, if you would like to buy more than one piece then they will come as one piece uncut.

Vintage French floral fabric - c.1930s - TS23



 This is a beautiful 1930s piece of used French cotton fabric. iI has gently faded over the years giving it that shabby chic appeal that is so popular.
The colours are my favourite being in a duck egg blue, yellow, pink and red. A great design.
 The fabric is still very strong although I have found a couple of tiny pinholes from previous stitching but still ideal for the front of a boudoir cushion/pillow.
Measures - 53cms x 45/43cms ( 20.9" x 17.7/16.9" )
