This is the contents of a sample "Classic Collection" bag. A total assortment of all things old, vintage, antique....nothing newer than fifty years ago and some things dating back to the mid 1880s. This pack is perfect for someone working on a traditional cream on cream block or an heirloom crazy quilt block and some will even contain a vintage un-used iron on transfer from my collection. This pack also contains some very old original diamantes from the 1920s and a piece of handsewn broderie anglaise made by a young pieceworker over 100 years ago.

Hi Viv, your baggies look wonderful ... how exciting to be able to buy local! I hope you don't mind, but I will blog about this wonderful venture you and Mary are taking ...... I can't wait to get my baggies! Hugs
It's all fantastic Viv...

Wow, this baggie is great...but I would only buy one, and then I would never want to use any of it!!
Hello Sandie, Julia and Jo,
Thankyou so much for the wonderful comments on our new baggies. The website can be found at www.marylewis.com.au
Lots more coming from where these ones came from....watch this space!
I really considered buying one of these, and no doubt will in the future. I was thinking that I could sew with some of the same things my mother might have sewed with - had she been in Oz, at least! Where in the world do you find things that old in a great enough quantity? You must be simply haunting the estate sales!
OMGG these are just lovely! Now I realize what the gals are just a gushing about when their baggies arrive. Now I can't wait till I clear some bills and I too can order a baggie or two or three . . . LOL!
