The Old Craft Store
Inspired by a vintage antique find, this is our version of a “make do” patchwork, using favorite large florals, toweling stripes, linens and other “nubby” textured fabrics. We used actual toweling pieces for the [k] pieces and used up scraps in other parts. I recommend washing toweling prior to use to get a more used feel and even perhaps “tea staining” them if they are too white [more info on last page of pattern]. We added the textured fabrics into the pieced blocks and used our favorite (4) large florals in the [a] blocks. The rest is up to you. Your kit has a lot of extra to play with to make it your own or to expand the quilt from this layout.
Orders are processed within 2–3 business days, excluding Sundays and holidays. We currently ship only within the United States, typically using United States Postal Service. Tracking details will be provided once your order ships.
The Old Craft Store, started by Richard Fleming and Melba Hamrick, has been in downtown Carrollton, TX since 1971. When it first opened, The Old Craft Store offered woodworking, painting, and sewing classes. If they had just added a “twist” they would have been way ahead of their time.
Melba eventually purchased the business and turned it into the wonderful quilt store it is today: offering quilting fabric, notions, and classes for every level of quilter. When she decided it was time to retire after 48 years at The Old Craft Store, Melba sold the business to a single mom with a love for quilting.
