Vintage Hexagons

Priced at $80
I'm a bit retro. I've been known to sew and wear the styles from the 60's and 70's.
  • I'm a sucker for collecting the old quilts from my Grandma's stash from long ago.
  • So what am I to do when a collection of authentic vintage fabrics fall to me?

  • So I used a large half hexagon template to cut my pieces, Then came the puzzle time, laying out the pieces so they would match once the rows were sewn together.
  • Sticking with the vintage theme, I decided to use the tie method of "quilting", using cotton thread to tie a series of knots spaced several inches apart to keep the batting from shifting.
  • Made from cotton and poly cotton blends.
  • Measures 48.5" x 65"

Welcome!

A place where I can showcase my skills and talents. 

I learned to sew at a young age, under the tutelage of my patient mother. Watching her and hours of practice gave me the confidence to tackle many patterns as well as design my own.

I sew clothing, I wear a lot of Made By Linda B, my children over the years, and now for others - mainly the little ones.

I also sew baby blankets, quilts and table runners or toppers.

Please browse through my listings - new items will be added regularly. Purchases can be made through e-transfer or cash if local. Please contact me through comments or email lindasb1973@gmail.com if interested in making a purchase from my shop.

At this time, I am set up to make sales in Canada only. Local pick up is in Calgary, Alberta. Mailouts will be added to the purchasers charge using flat rate boxes from Canada Post at $20 per box.
