Gee's Bend Quilts

I heard about these amazing quilts a while ago, but stumbled upon a recent post on Deb Rowden's quilt blog. I searched for some images and found these. So original, modern and colourful and all made using recycled fabrics. Gee's Bend is a small, African-American town in Alabama- for a more comprehensive history see this website.

Check/ Plaid Jacket Remake

Did some charity/ thrift shopping this weekend and found this lovely, wool, check jacket. It looked a little old-fashioned long, so I chopped the bottom off and added some red buttons to pick out the red in the check.
