Penelope!' I am a true dyed in the wool (or cotton-in this case) Patchwork Lover. The process is so intimate-a loved one collecting fabrics from favorite clothes well worn-linings-silk ties, and lovingly piecing them together. It's a pleasure to put together. pgt
DeleteLove! Love! Love!
ReplyDeleteAlways wanted a bedroom like Gloria Vanderbilt's. Patchwork everywhere including the floor!
