I have some cotton hand embroidered dresser scarves from the 1950s and `60s. Pinterest featured similar linens incorporated into a quilt, which is what I'd like to have done, but the maker was in Great Britain. Does anyone know of a quilt maker who specializes in using vintage fabrics?

Cindy Needham does lovely work with vintage linens. She has a book with that in the title, and teaches a class on Craftsy that gets into that area of expertise.

The book is Wholecloth Linen Quilts. It's out of print but sometimes can be found for a reasonable price.

I saw a lovely quilt this month at the International Machine Quilters' Showcase in Cedar Rapids where she used lots of vintage linens--cutting the fancy parts, and crazy quilted about 5-7 into blocks that then she made into a quilt with sashings between. I was very pretty. Would take lots of vintage linens.
