FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Historical Society and the Fallbrook Quilt Guild recently joined forces to rescue forgotten vintage linens. The historical society had accumulated a large quantity of donated vintage linens and lace that for various reasons could not be displayed in the museum or the Pittenger house.
The quilt guild was looking for items to upcycle for their biennial quilt show and boutique. Through a chance meeting, the two decided to solve the unusual issue together. The historical society graciously donated many of the items to the quilt guild and the quilt guild members got to work.
They have created beautiful aprons, purses, table linens and journal covers with the vintage linens. Many of these creations were on display in October at the Pittenger House, an early 1900’s home on the historical society’s property once owned by famous Civil War solider, Rev. William Pittenger.
