These ribbon transfers on cotton were taken directly from vintage postcards,
cutouts and trade cards of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Use them in
crazy quilts, on vests or as labels. Favorite images include children,
flowers, doves, humorous or holiday scenes -- even hands holding messages for
dear ones! The transfers have been applied to 100% cotton cloth, and are sturdy
and colorfast. They are washable, too (gentle cycle). Prices are marked.
