It is slowly coming together but when OH eventually goes fishing I want to be able to sit and play without any interruptions. I buy the odd thing or two off ebay and I know I am probably paying more than I should. However I cannot get to the car boots easily these days as I do not drive and my sister in law who I used to go with has recently passed. What I do buy on the linen front is going to be put into use shortly as I have recently bought a new bed and as it is a vintage style I thought this time round I would go for a vintage feel and look - not necessarily matched sets but bits that work together. You cannot beat the beauty of the older items I am with you on that and their practicality. Take care.

Hopefully it will make it a little easier to work and get projects that I've wanted to do done a bit more quickly. I collect old linens, tablecloths, and such too. I used to get them for a fairly decent price at flea markets and second hand stores. But now it seems everyone is collecting them and the prices have shot out of my price range. Oh well, I still have some nice ones. Have a great day!.Theresa Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226952474166295533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-86458591897155170052018-03-04T23:23:48.056+00:002018-03-04T23:23:48.056+00:00Hi BB, embroidery is my first love it was one of t...Hi BB, embroidery is my first love it was one of the first crafts I was taught at Junior School not that I am brilliant at it but I do find it therapeutic. I have bought a lot of damaged cloths where I can fussy cut embroidered sections our but also intend to embroider new bits on any small pieces of linen as well so waste not want not. I have also bought some very small tablecloths because of the design on them and intend to use them as well. The bed and mattress is a Superking - absolutely massive with a vintage reproduction ironwork headboard. Its very comfy but OH will have to manage the moving possibly with the help of my step son I cannot lift very well. I am also looking to add some vintage lace in the quilt as well. I thought that I would work it in rough squares which will make for easier handling and piecing and embroidery but will see how it evolves. I have some pretty cotton patchwork fabric pieces to mix in as well. Have been collecting bits and bobs for about 18 months as I have come across them. As you say lots of plans, lots of ideas but at the minute too little time to play. I am hoping when OH goes fishing again that I will be better sorted out to take advantage of the same. The snow has now gone and it has been a milder day not so bitter so I am hoping that this week will be a lot warmer than last week. Pretty as it is its not very easy with the old travelling. Catch you soon and take care.

Better to cut up ruined embroideries for that though. You are going to have to retire to find the time for all your plans!! I hope the bed arrives soon and isn't too cumbersome to get upstairs.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
