Wow that Holly Hobby brings back memories, I had that picture and a doll I carried around forever. I had a few different bedding sets, but a bambi one is what I really remember well.
I also follow you in google reader, thank you for the giveaway, I've only made it to two vintage sheets in my collection so far, so I have a ways to go!
I have the Disney cartoon Character bedding sheet when I was a little girl.

Man, I feel like it was changing every year. I usually had a plain comforter, then a quilt on top (which also switched often!)
Gee, we had ordinary white sheets on our beds. Guess I'm a lot older than most of you! Thanks for the giveaway. Sharon slozano5 at earthlink dot net

I remember those Holly Hobby sheets! :-) My bed sheets were striped with thin grey(I *think*) stripes and yellow floral bands between. I remember thinking how pretty and cheerful they were. :-) I just love vintage sheets-- they really do remind of a happier, simpler time!
I like you on Facebook-- thanks!
I follow on GFC, too! Thanks again!
I follow you on Twitter, too! Thanks for the extra chances to win!
Oh my goodness. There were 7 children in our house, and we just got whatever sheets mom gave us. I really do not remember having specific sheets at all.
My dad made me a platform bed that I used as a teenager. It was passed down to my son and then to my great nephew before it finally gave out! My bedding was nothing fancy, just a regular comforter. i think it was some blue print. Denim was very popular back then
I'm an Army brat, so our beds were often what was provided to us. My mom sewed, so we had handmade bedspreads. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'm a follower my email. Thanks.
I had a red and white panel printed blanket made by Mom. My brother had a matching so it must have been a generic picture, I can't remember.
I'm a happy follower!
The first sheets I can remember were candy strip flanelette ones!
Thanks for the giveaway. I don't remember what I had on my bed when I was growing up. I came from a large family and shared a bed with my sister so we had whatever my mom put on there.
Thanks for a chance to win! I made purple, white flowered bedspreads for the twin beds in my room for 4-H.
I had white sheets with tiny pastel flowers all over. And a pink quilt with Beatrice Potter inspire bunnies all over that my Mom made.

My mom sewed my sister and I matching Lady and the Tramp sets for our beds with coordinating curtains for our windows.
I just had plain sheets. Fun to hear about others.
I am a follower in Gfc Thanks
I had purple stripes on my sheets and the only bedspread I remember was green chenille. I'm a follower of your blog and I appreciate you joining the blog hop and having such a wonderful giveaway.
My bed had a quilt that was light and dark tan/browns. The quilt now sits on my sons bed 30+ years later. He swears its his but I know its mine.
I follow in GFC, I just added facebook and twitter just to round things out.
I had this really ugly pink gingham comforter set. It was a matching set with my little sister as we shared a room. I hate pink. LOL

I remeber Holly Hobbie. I loved her.
I had a very light blue sheet quilt that my mom made. We lived in the dessert for a long time.

My bedding was nothing special. I can't remember it!
I still have the emboridary picture of Holly Hobby. But my room was purple from floor to ceiling... Really floors, walls, ceiling, built ins and the bedding was a white with purple flowers quilt....
I really don't remember having anything special. But I do love the pretty vintage sheets :-)
I had gingham, too...lavender and white, customized by my sewing Gramma :)
My bedding was always bleached white sheets when I was in school. That was many many many years ago.
I had just plain old white sheets I guess because I don't remember anything special about them.
I had a double bed and my own room. My brothers had to share a room. I think my bedspread was a heavy white one from the Green Stamp place:)
After we moved to the 'big' house I got my own bedroom! Double bed with 2 walls of windows...I would lay awake all hours of the night looking out the windows at the stars. The best part .... perched on top of the double bed was my great grandmothers feather mattress!!! [Are you surprised that I had allergy issues as a child?]

Pretty plain bedding but I did have an upstairs room with a dormer window I loved!

I don't remember any special bedding, but I do remember having a Carebear sleeping bag on my bed a lot- my girls still have it!
I don't remember anything special. Just some chenille bedspreads and plain or floral sheets. I remember the scratchy wool blankets
A new follower who hopes this time I can prove I'm not a robot on the first try! I usually don't have any problems
My sister and I had trundle beds... I can't remember what the sheets or bed spreads were like.
I had a small bed with green and pink flowers on the comforter :)

My bedding was a modge podge of my grandma's rose vintage sheets from the 40's during WWI, I loved it and I would love to collect all the rose vintage I could find, If I were to open an Esty shop, I think this is what it would be
My mom liked to change things around alot by my favorite was in the early 70's. Every thing was big flowers. In bright colors. I remember since I didn't have a headboard she took a floral sheet, same pattern as the ones in the bed, and tacked it up the wall and across part if the ceiling. It was cool looking..

Hello! I just had flowery sheets and a nice warm soft blanket, very cozy... too cozy, in fact so cozy I didn't want to get up in the morning to go to school...

I had a yellow holly hobby quilt that graced my bed. My mom had it made for me I still have it to this day. Im a new follower of yours btw love your blog you inspire this quilting newbie.also following on twittter fb and pin
I guess this will confirm how old I feel at times. Most of those 'vintage' sheets that are so popular now like those you are giving away were on my bed as a child. I guess that must mean I'm 'vintage' too eh? LOL
Oh my!!! I had those Holly Hobby Curtains! The only thing I can remember about my bedding was that the sheets were Sesame Street. I still have them :)

Sorry to say, I really don't remember anything particular about bedding from my childhood...I was in & out of Foster homes, and passed to relatives. But now I've grown up...and loooove pretty & happy colors! Love sheets from the the Thrift stores! Have some a Friend's Grandma gave to me few years ago... they are my favorites!
Thanks for chance to win! :)

I had twin beds decorated in blue chenille bedspreads
I was in a bunk bed on the top bunk. I had blue snoopy and woodstock sheets.
I remember my sister having the Hollie Hobbie set. At that time I had a dark purple plush bedspread. (Think short fake fur.)

I had a fairly plain bedding set, but a crocheted bedspread by my grandmother was the finishing touch of the bed. Loved that spread, and once I got married she made me one for my bed. I still have it, and still use it on occasion. Thanks for the giveaway
I used to have a white quilt with Pierot all over it, my mum bought me one with clowns and it scared me half to death! oo they looked evil ;-(
Rainbow Bright all the way baby! LOL
