Vintage Chenille.
About 5 years ago my Mum (& her friend Helen from Vacy) went to Queensland and bought Miss Beatie back a pair of chenille shorts. At the time there were very few about and of course I thought 'I could make those' (as you do). So over the years I went about buying and collecting old chenille bedspreads.
Talk about unfinished objects - or should I say 'unstarted' objects!
So this week during a lull in the holiday festivities, I finally whipped up a new pair using a cream and a checked pink. I also attached a screenprinted design I did during my first foray into screenprinting.
I even put one of the bedspreads on Miss Beatie's bed! I think I'm re-living the 70's where my sister and I each had one, mine was green, hers a reddish pink. What about you what did you have on your bed?
