Well Kimberly Jolly and the staff over at Fat Quarters have outdone themselves again. Fat Quarters not only organized a fabulous fun mystery quilt but they will be giving away 1 Layer Cake™ of the featured designer each day of the hop. That's a total of 13 FREE Layer Cakes—PLUS the grand prize! Thank you Kimberly!
The fabric featured in the mystery series is Vintage Modern by Moda fabrics designed by the very pretty mother daughter team of Bonnie and Camille.
If you are looking for the definition of Vintage Modern you will not find it in a dictionary.
Google it and you will not find an actual definition either.
My definition would be to take something vintage that is classic and timeless and add something new and trendy for the modern part of Vintage Modern.
Our task was to find a piece of clothing in our closets that was Vintage Modern.
Let's review:
I live in an 1890's house.
No closets. (My closet is an antique wardrobe that measures just 5 feet across.)
Not even a coat closet.
Therefore I do not keep my old clothing. When I buy something I donate something old.
Sooo my choices were very limited.
This is a snippet of my item.
The item was purchased at a store that is called by a different name today.
The item was purchased 30 years ago.
Audrey would have only worn this with brown - but not brown diamonds.
Someday my daughter might wear this item.
Can you guess what this item is?
You have 24 hours to leave ONE guess in the comment area of this post
Whoever guesses correctly will then be entered to win this Sassy Layer Cake™ complements of Fat Quarter Shop.
Thank you Kimberly!
If you would like to sign up for the Block of the Month Club featuring the Vintage Modern fabric collection, you can do so here.
Thanks for stopping by today. Tomorrow the mystery continues over at Bonnie and Camille's blogs. (Two blogs to visit tomorrow.)
Happy Guessing.
From my heart,
Sandy

Looks like a fur stole or coat. Very nice!
It looks like it might be a fur coat. It can't be easy living in a house without closets, but it probably means you make good use of your space.
It looks like a stole or coat of mink or other fur. Thanks for the chance!
Looks like a fur coat or shawl to me, very pretty.
A fur coat....I remember how beautiful my mom looked in hers when I was very young.

I wish I still had mine! Don't know where it is but I think they should be coming back soon as a fashion trend. A Mink Stole!
my guess is some kind of yummy warm coat :)
I think it's a hat.
Really no clue, but my first guess before reading the comments was a hat. You don't really need a closet for that, right?! Thanks for the chance to win your fabulous fabric.
My guess is a fur coat or stole. Makes me wonder whatever happened to my grandmother's fur coat... It was so warm and toasty to wear on a cold winter's day!
I think it's a fur, maybe mink, stole or coat. My mom had a fur and I remember sitting next to her in church and cuddling up in the soft fluffy fur.
You are so kind - some of the blog pics are HUH???? lol Beautiful mink coat :)
Mink stole.
Thanks for the opportunity - LOVE your fabrics!

Truly looks like a mink coat or stole but I'm thinking that hers would have been more than 30 years old. Would love to win.
I'm guessing a fur stole/capelet. It looks lovely.
I'm going with the group...some type of fur....collar, shawl, coat...I just bought a mink collar at an auction this summer...fun fun fun....
I think it is a fur stole. Just like Audrey used to wear!
It looks like a fur wrap or coat to me.
It looks like a fur coat or wrap. jillfroelich@yahoo.com
I bet its a wonderful furry hat.
Looks like fur...maybe a coat.
LOve Sassy!
Hmmmmm-my first thought was a fur wrap or coat and I guess I will stick with that.
It definitely looks like fur to me, either a coat or a stole. I remember as a child, in the 70's, thinking fur coats were so glamorous!
I think it's a fur coat.
Well, if you routinely give away old clothing, then whatever this is must have been valuable enough that you wanted to save it. It looks like a fur (brown mink?) coat.
I would say it was purchased at Dayton's (Marshall Fields and now Macy's). It definetley looks like fur to me.
PS I live in an old farm house and I understand no closets.
PB from MN
It looks like a fur coat or wrap to me as well!
A fur stole of some sort.
The first thing, which occured to me was THE MINK STOLE. It must be that ;o)
A mink stole? My grandmother was so proud of her mink stole. I only have one picture of her with it on. Audrey indeed!
It looks like a mink stole to me!
A fur coat would be my guess. I have my grandmother's mink coat she wore in the 40's. I love it, though I'm living on a Mink Ranch!!!
I will go with a fur wrap, too. Five feet of storage would force you to be very disciplined with clothes accummulation - maybe I need to try that!!
Thanks for the chance to win.
It looks like a fur wrap - maybe not a full coat, but a short wrap like a stole? My mom has a fur coat.

Fur wrap or coat :) Your rule of buy something new, out goes something old is great advice...however that would be extrememly difficult for ME to maintain......I envy your strength!
A fur muff to keep your hands warm :)
I think it is a fur stole or coat. Thanks for the chance to win.
My grandmother and my mother each had one of these and we used to play dress-up with them! I always loved that nubby, bumpy texture! Now the thought of wearing a mink or fur stole or cape or wrap sort of grosses me out! Of course Audrey could pull anything off! Such a classy lady!
MGM
I hope that it is a fur wrap
Everyone lucky to have something in fur can never cast it aside! I love your fabric lines..I get excited to see what you create next!
Audrey Hepburn wore a brown hat with a brown dress in the train station scene in the 1958 movie "Funny Face". She didn't arrive at Tiffany's until 1961, so no diamonds, brown or otherwise. Ms. Hepburn was not adverse to wearing fur as she became spokesperson for Blackglama mink -- so I think your item is a mink hat. Even a house without closets can store a hat!
Fur coat. Thanks for the chance.
My guess is a fur coat. Thanks for a chance.

Some type of fur--coat or stole

Some sort of fur stole
Yikes..I have no idea but I always picture Audrey with a huge hat and muff from My Fair Lady so maybe it is one of those?
Some type of fur... I'm thinking a stole.
I'm in love with your Sassy line! Thank you for this opportunity!

I'm going to say fur stole or coat.
A fur shawl/shoulder wrap.
I think it's a fur shrug. Thanks!
Fur coat or stole? Definitly looks like fur.
It's hard to tell from the picture but I'm thinking fur coat.
A mink stole or jacket. My great-aunt gifted us one of each when she was cleaning things out and we used to play "dress up" and have parades with the furs, evening gowns, fabulous hats, and elbow length gloves.
I think it's a fur hat- doesn't take up a lot of space, and it's (almost) one size fits all.
I read some of your blogs, and will definitely be returning. I had those same glasses when I was a girl! :)Tanis
I'd say a fur garment of some sort too. Great definition of Vintage Modern!
It looks like a fur stole or coat.
A fur cap
A fur coat
I'm thinking fur coat or stole. a short one that comes to the waist or hips. Mink or fox. The store? If you ever lived in Texas, I'm going to guess Joske's or Rhodes Department Stores. They sold beautiful high end merchandise.

yes, it does appear to be some kind of stole from REAL fur! LOL
I'm going with a fur coat or stole. Easy NOT to give away a fur!! ;-p

I am going with a mink coat too
I guess a fur coat or stole. Thank you for the great giveaway and chance to win!
I would guess fur scarf or stole. As you don't have a coat closet, I think it might be smaller than a coat.
Could be hat?
Sandy, I am sure that is a chevron style fur coat, and I am guessing that since we are both North Iowa girls, you would have made the trip to Minneapolis and purchased it at Dayton's fur salon, which became Marshall Fields and would now be Macy's. Thanks so much for sharing your great talent and gifts!
I'm going with a mink coat. It looks really similar to my Grandmother's vintage mink coat hanging in my closet.
I would say fur something - coat or muff maybe?
Love the Sassy line. And I'd love to live in an old house without closets!

A fur coat or stole. Love the new Sassy line, I'm planning my new project with it right now.
Sable, or any other kind of fur hat.
Oh, wouldn't that be fun to win that Layer Cake! What if your item was one of those 'fake' fur Shoulder bags?
rock on!
(that could be small enough to fit in a 5-foot wardrobe...)
Well I will guess a fur coat or wrap.
My first thought when I looked at the picture was a fur coat or wrap/stole. Seems I'm in agreement with lots of ladies! Fun blog hop. ~Jody R.
Looks like a mink or fur wrap or coat. Very Vintage ! Thanks for the chance to win...
Karen
I think it's a brown fur coat...thanks for the giveaway!
Since you don't have closets, I would say it is something small. I can't imagine you're a fur type, but I might be completely wrong. So, I am going for a knitted wrap, which you can easily put over chair back.
A mink stole?

I think I am going to have to go with the majority here and say a fur stole
A mink or some kind of fur stole or coat.
First reaction upon seeing the photo snippet is a fur stole. Beautiful and fashionably priceless.

My guess is that it's a fur coat you bought from Sears.

It looks like it could be a fur coat. You wouldn't have gotten in trouble for wearing it 30 years ago.
Fur, probably mink. A hat, stole or a muff. Who can tell? I love the colors of Sassy. Thanks.....
fur stole or coat
I'm going with a fur wrap or coat. Well back in the early 80's I owned a rabbit fur jacket, but no longer have it.
I'm guessing a fur item, such as a hat or stole. Love your new fabric!
Hope my eyes aren't deceiving me...but, I think it looks like some type of fur wrap, jacket, or coat. {Almost thought it looked like a crochet item. Maybe?}
That looks like a fur coat or stole

mink stole
I think it is a cape coverup jacket thing!
It's probably a fur, but it also looks like a hat, so my guess is a hat.
It certainly looks like a fur coat, but maybe it is a cape?
Debbie
At first I thought of a mink or sable stole - but looking at the image again I think it may be too wide for that - so I would guess it is a coat of some description (perhaps a cape?).
Sassy is sublime! :)
Maybe a fur coat?
I'm torn...from your clues I have two guesses, and can't pick which one to go with...so here's both: 1)a brown shaved mink hat (like Holly Golightly wears in Breakfast at Tiffanys or 2) a brown knit 'ranch house' like Holly Golightly is knitting (although hers is red)...either of which were bought at Marshall Fields in the early 80s.
This is so very fun. My guess would be a fur coat or stole. Thanks, Karen M
I think it is a mink coat.
Looks like a mink stole!!!!
I'm guessing a fur coat/stole. LOVE your fabric! thanks for the chance to win!

a fur stole
marksey3@msn.com
The fibers seem to be looped. It's so dark, it hard to tell. I'll guess a hat, maybe of the pill box type.
I'm a thinking it may be a fur hat...that little section near the bottom looks like it may be some type of ornamentation for it...also hats used to be purchased from Millinery's and today we call them hat shops! That's my answer and I'm sticking to it!!! LOL
It is a mink coat. Definitely worth holding on to and very warm on the coldest winter day.
It looks like a mink stole! What a great vintage item!
Yes, a mink stole/coat! Definitely vintage!
I am going to guess a fur coat! :) Thank you so much for the chance! It was interesting to hear of a house with no closets. I am going to admit that I had not heard of that before today! I kind of like the idea...it sure would cause me to become much more practical and a little less materialistic! Love that idea!!!!
Beautiful fabric. My guess is a fur coat/stole.
I think it may be a fur stole or collar. Audrey certainly worn her share of those. Thanks.
Some type of fur piece- but stole/jacket/coat/hat?
I'm going with Fur Coat. I have my moms in my closet currently :)
A mink stole. My Mom had one & she was so lovely when she donned her pearls from japan, her Jackie Onasis fur pillbox hat & her mink stole... thanks for the memory & love your happy fabrics!
Looks like a 'poodle cloth' coat or stole.
A fur coat or stole from Dayton's...I mean Marshall Fields'...I mean Macy's :)
