This listing is for an antique/vintage 30s, light weight, 100% cotton fabric panel. Everything shabby chic dreams are made of, with a sweet pink bouquet surrounded by acanthus scrolls, on a dreamy deep salmon ground. It has that lovely gentle all-over fade I like to call “kissed by time”. It’s that soft look that cannot be reproduced with modern technology. It has the usual manufacturing info on the side… this one reads “Design Hurndall”, “Guaranteed Vat Prints”. This had a past life as a drapery panel and before storing, I unpicked a side seam, surged the other side, and washed it. When I unpacked it the other day I machine washed and dried it to freshen it up. It’s strong and has no issues other than the loose threads from where I undid the seam. It measures approximately 23” wide by 75” long.

Sanctuary Sale

I will be listing many tubs of antique and vintage fabrics over the next few weeks/months. After most of our kids moved out, a major pivot in my life saw me moving from occasional animal rescues, to becoming involved in major TNR events, and full-time rescue/fostering/socializing of feral kittens and older cats. I decided I would be able to do so much more if I had a dedicated sanctuary, however I have no idea how to start or run a non-profit, so I’m funding this myself. We completed all our engineering and health department reports, and have an awesome contractor with plans ready to go, but just switching to Ramen isn’t going to make it happen, so I’m parting with vintage textile treasures collected over a life-time. Many of these fabrics are incredibly rare and impossible to find now. Please keep in mind, if you see a single panel listed, often there is a matching panel, or several, but in a different tub that I haven’t opened yet. I examine each piece thoroughly, and describe them to the best of my ability. My experience comes from a life-time of collecting and sewing, however I don’t claim to be an expert. Any error in my descriptions, or missed issues, are not intentional. Also, colors show differently between devices. I always find my phone has exaggerated colors compared to my computer monitor…please keep that in mind. Ask as many questions as you need to, so you are happy with your purchase. This collection has been my obsession for most of my life, but priorities change, so as I fund my sanctuary and we downsize to a smaller home and studio, you will benefit if vintage fabrics are your thing. I hope you find the textile treasures of your dreams, whilst I build the ultimate rescue/sanctuary of mine. Thank you for dropping by.

 

Welcome to JILLIAN VO…formerly Dont*Tell*Daddy*The*Price.

 I am one of Ebay’s founding members, and for many years sold vintage fabric pillows, totes, and children’s clothing. I changed focus a few years ago, and am now a silver smith. I vend at a few select art shows, and also have my own jillianvo website, however I will continue to provide vintage and antique textile creations, along with some of my jewelry here for my Ebay customers. Thank you for taking the time to visit.
