JILLIAN VO

Brought To You By One Of Ebay’s Founding Members

 

This listing is for a vintage 50s cotton drapery panel. It displays large pink and white roses, with smaller blue flowers, on an almost white ground that is actually a very faded soft yellow. The yellow tone has dropped so much that you would never know it was there if not for the top and bottom hems that have been let out. This fabric is in great vintage condition apart from the fading. It’s nice and strong, and I recently re-soaked, and machine washed and dried. and ready to be made into some beautiful vintage creations. Measures approximately 24 ½” wide by 90” 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.
