Last week I visited my favorite thrift store which was having a 75% off sale. As usual, I looked at all the vintage linens. I’ve made curtains, pillow covers, and tablecloths from previous finds. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw something quilted.
It is a beautiful small quilt with curving edges. I turned it over and saw that it was a quilted sham cover for a king size pillow, but in my mind I knew it would be gorgeous on my dining table.
I needed beautiful flowers to go with it.
I bought two small bunches of roses at Aldi.
I choose white roses and peach roses which I thought would go well with the colors of the quilt.
The look makes me happy and is just what I needed after putting away all the holiday decor. God bless!

Happy New Year to you Carol and congrats – you’re our 1st Friend Of The Week of 2017 at Friendship Friday at Create With Joy! 🙂
Thank you for the gift of your friendship!
You are an inspiration to me Joy. Thanks for all you add to the world of blogging!
This really does look great in the center of your table. I love the curved edges, I am sure that someone put a whole lot of work into this piece. And Roses always seem to brighten the day, I love the peachy orange roses the best. That color just makes me smile.
I loved the curves also and the colors.
Carol, The proportions of that quilted piece are perfect for your table. I’m glad you are happy with it. It looks great. at 75% off the price must have been pretty good too. Wishing you a happy new year in 2017. Sylvia D.

That was a great find that’s very pretty. Hopefully our Aldi’s will sell flowers soon. Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story, have a great weekend.
They sell flowers and occasionally plants here at my store. I love it!
Hi Carol, what a great find and a lovely way to brighten up the house again.I do think how lovely it would be to be crafty, my Mum is nifty with a sewing machine too, unfortunately I never quite got the hang of it.

I have never been good with a sewing machine either, but I do appreciate others’ talents. Have a great day!
Beautiful colour combinations and they look so weel with your little quilt find.
They both look beautiful Carol. I adore Roses, they are so pretty 🙂 Thanks for sharing at The Weekend Blog Hop.
Have a lovely day!
Such a wonderful find! It looks just lovely on your table, and the roses add a very sweet touch! Praying you have a splendid day in your beautiful home!
God bless!
How very pretty, Carol and I love the roses! Thank you for sharing @Vintage Charm!
Fresh flowers are perfect at this time of year, right? Thanks so much for sharing at Celebrate Your Story!
Carol…since I am a quilter, I love the quilt you found. I, too, have found a few quilts at our local thrift store. Yours is a wonderful find. And you did a great job in displaying it. Thank you for sharing at Monday’s Musings.
I don’t have your talent in quilting but I do love them. My sister-in-law does hand sewn quilts and I wish I had that skill. Have a wonderful day.
What a great find and it looks so lovely on your table.
Thanks for sharing at Over The Moon party,
Bev
