Vintage Fabric...



Oh My.....


Look what the postman has just delivered...











No borders...            
















































47inches x 200inches of Joy...


I love it!!
No real idea how old or its heritage do you??

And
For the first time in months I'm fit enough to pop down to the local church craft club... an alternate thurs afternoon group for £1... today making felt doorstops... there is also a very talented group of ladies that form a quilting group I hoping to gain some advise on feet for my cub 4 sewing machine... I really want to give free style machine embroidery a go but am being given conflicting advice...

Anyway I'm off for a little lie down before a bit of community crafting!

And the sun has come out...

Till next time smiles Cass x


Update

I thought it looked Boras like but didn't dare say... as it wasn't very expensive & I found it on eBay
But The design is called Ekero and it was designed by Saini Salonen... It's from the 1960s...
Thanks Rachel from Rainbow Village Home

  1. Wow - certainly some flower power going on there - fantastic fabric! I remember being all fired up about free machine embroidery after watching old Kirsty do some on TV but I couldn't quite get the hang of it - would love to see some inspiration! Hope you enjoyed your crafty pursuits x Jane

    1. Yep I'd rather like some inspiration too Jane... I've ordered a book from the library and a darning foot and hope that by the end of the week I might just might be able to start learning! Cass x
