Time, errrr…..energy……well, you get the idea! Sandwiched and at the ready. Swirls of ideas to rein in, after all, it’s such a little piece…………………..
just barely 11”x 17” and as white as it’s going to get. Coming from a packed full bag of linens that were my maternal Grandma’s, it’s lazily resting on a beautiful piece of periwinkle dupioni silk. This makes piece #3 awaiting stitching glorification! Thread….yet to be chosen but layered with Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 (cotton/poly) and wool. The texture will be amazing! Stay tuned……………………

Was wondering how you finish it off after quilting is done. The linens are finished, but what about the backing?
At this point, the “plan” is to do some stitching on the blue silk and do a narrow binding (traditional) as the piece is a smaller one and I ‘think’ I want the finish a tad larger. This thought might change, however. Thanks so much for stopping by!!! Hugs………………….
Aww…and the wait begins! Anxious to see what you create with that well aged linen. I’m sure words will escape me when I see the finished product!!
I’m anxious to see it, too! Stay tuned…..
Oh, how I cherish aged linens.
I do, too! And using them in this way is so excellent for preserving them as it adds the stability that they are lacking (see: http://blog.cindyneedham.com/…..Cindy specializes in whole cloth quilts of this type!!)
Thanks for sharing this link. I am sure your linen piece will be spectacular! I like your batting choice. You will get wonderful texture 🙂
I think it will work out well, too. Thnx for stopping by and taking some moments to visit!!!! Hugs…………………
I am sure you will find the perfect design for this vintage style, Feathers……maybe!!
Oh, feathers definitely!!!! You know me well!!!! LOL!!!!!
Ah, vintage linens! I’ll look forward to this transformation!
Me, too. It’s #3 on the project list but it will be soon! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!!
