vintage quilt top on Flickr.

a worn and colorful vintage quilt top. This isn’t durable enough to be re-made into a functional quilt, but could be salvaged for frameable motifs or for a small wall art quilt.

vintage crochet hotpad (or knit?) on Flickr.

a vintage hotpad that looks to be made with a combination of knitting and crochet. I’m not sure whether to display this or use it in the kitchen. It’s a little yellowed but still very pretty.

vintage crocheted lace doily on Flickr.

Here’s a pretty vintage doily, maybe 7 inches diameter. I’m going to look up ways to inexpensively mount and hang it for home decor.

vintage lace framing a piece of fine linen or cotton? on Flickr.

I’m not sure what this was supposed to be. It’s a little rectange, maybe 4 x 5 of fine linen or cotton with a fine lace frame. I’m quite sure this would look beautiful with an image transfer onto the fabric.
