The Vintage Calico Sharing my love for vintage textiles, and doing my best to keep them out of landfills!

I paid $200 for all of this. One bin was even headed for the trash!🦝

One of my favorite hauls ever! I went for a few totes of vintage fabric and came home with a truck bed full. 1944 quilt patterns, hand-cut hexies, stacks of feedsack-era prints.

Best guess: how many yards of fabric did I haul home? 🧵 Closest guess gets bragging rights.

I'm Melanie, the feral fabric raccoon behind The Vintage Calico — I rescue vintage quilts and fabric and find them new homes. I'm always out hunting the next haul, and my followers get first dibs before anything hits the shop. Stick around, you know there's treasure in the next one.

The sister quilt!

Found with the Grandmothers Garden yo-yo quilt, this girl doesn’t have the WOW pattern, but she’s huge, and she’s gorgeous!

I did find one stitch that had been forgotten, and I will sew it before sending her to her new home.

Absofreakinglutely pristine. No stains, or damage.
