Home thoughts from abroad


Kathleen who lives in Spain, has just finished this beautiful quilt, made from vintage embroidered linens. Kathleen has a Jolie knitting bag and was inspired by the idea of using vintage linen for her quilt too, with a stunning result. So pretty and reminiscent of the English country garden.

    1. Thank you so much. I didn't expect such a nice comment. It will remind me of home when I put it on my bed.

  5. I want to do something like this, but cutting up my Mother's work is so hard to do. I've had these linens out and washed for days and just stare at them trying to decide. However they have been in a plastic tub for many years not being used, so I have to make that leap. This encourages me, thank you. DD
