Ok...I had to take these with my camera phone, so the quality is terrible, I apalogize...but there are 9 dresser scarves...only one of which has a small area that needs to be mended..the rest are in great shape. There are several pkgs of unopened bias tape and hem facing, 4 blue and white gingham checked napkins...and a few extra goodies that will be a surprise. I would really like to send this all as one package, to save on shipping.
I am looking for cherry and strawberry print material for my vintage travel trailer, am just not having ANY luck finding any around these parts!!!
Ps. I do have more sewing supplies, fabric, vintage linens, doiles, etc....if you have cherry and strawberry fabric, but aren't necassarily interested in what I have here...Thanks, Kelley

Oh, my!! The pics are even worse than I thought!! So sorry!! these really are some cute old dresser scarves...one is shear material, with blue flowers on it and a shear lace trim...one is a light green with white cut lace type trim...3 are hand embroidered with floral designs....one of which has hand tatted green and white trim, One scarf has 3 small round hand crocheted medallions running the length of it and it trimmed in hand tatted pastel pinks, greens, blues yellows and purples, 1 is a solid white cut lace dresser scarf....if you need better pictures, sending them from my phone directly to your email would probably work better...thanks!

How much cherry or strawberry fabric do you need? I have some strawberry fabric (2 different prints) but not a huge amount, I will measure them though

I don't need a ton...enough for some pillows, potholders, and the such....would like to make my bedspread out of patchwork pieces of hand embroidered linens and cherry and strawberry fabrics...the curtains may also have to be made of vintage linens if I can't come up with enough fabric....I have been on the hunt for months now....and all I have come up with is about 1/2 of a yard of cute cherry material, that unfortunately had a huge section of flaw in it!! Bummer!!

I have gone through some of my fabric, and I have found a half of a yard of a strawberry print, and 2 rather lg. scrap peices but I know I have some more and now that I think of it, I have some cherry left over from a bag I made for a friend of mine. I will go through the rest of it by tomorrow and I will email you pics. ( for some reaso I can't post them here) Sound Good?

yeah, sounds good...I'm bad with pics on here....my digital camera is broken, that is why i took pics with my phone....would you happen to have any fabric that is red floral in general? The theme for my trailer is mainly Cherries, but with alot of strawberries and red roses and red flowers also...all of the red floral material I seem to find is either WAY to over-the-top loud, or it's little bitty calico prints that don't have much POP!..lol...know what I mean?

Hey! I have about 9 yards of fabric that is cherries on a blue background. I took a picture for you, but have no idea how to post it here, so if you'd like to see it - provide an email address where I can send it to you. It'd be so great if this was what you were looking for!

I do have some red floral I think. I send along some pics of what I find. If you like EllynAnne's fabric, and she wants the vintage linens, we could work something else out, like I said Mine are mostly remenants, but I may have many different prints:)

Hi girls,
Did someone have vintage fabric for barter? I will begin working on my first quilt this week and would love to barter. I have a whole bath & body product line that I make myself that I'll barter some products for fabric. Let me know. Thanks

Angela , got your pics, LOVE the fabric! it's ok that they are remnants, I mostly am going to be making pillows, potholders tablecloths and such!!
EllynAnne - A larger piece like the one you described would be great too, for my bedlinens....so how do we want to do this? I can make up another set of stuff, post pics, though they won't be that great, and ya'll pick who wants what? Or if ya'll have a better idea, let me know!! Thanks!
