red and white.......
.....sewn out of antique handtowels, bed linnen and cross stitched monograms!
After a period of several weeks working on my new show quilt I started with this customer quilt last week...back to business
It was soooo much fun....please have a look!
If you are interested you should have a look on the customerīs website: http://www.samplers-berlin.com/ Sabine Taterra is specialised on these antique fabrics and cross- stitched sampler!
A great start into the week......

Oh Claudia, you lucky girl! I LOVE antique "anything & everything." Wow, you sure made that quilt shine with your McT'ing! Tell Sabine she has
inspired me to use my antique linens that are worn in areas, to make me one of these quilts! Awsome Idea!!

It is so lovely and has all of the special quilting signature touches of Claudia.

I'm with SheriB! Anything antique and red & white linens are at the top of the list! Excellent ideas all the way around! The quilting is perfect
on this. Such a "Ladies Quilt"!

sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" |

what a lot of treasures.....
I just found the time to check the website of my customer! Have you seen on Sabineīs website what beautiful cross-stitched samplers exist??? Wooow....
what a patience to stitch this! And they are done hundreds of years ago.....
Thank you all for your nice words
I hope Sabine will love the quilt , too! The quilt is in the mail right now!
Have a great day...
Claudia

WoW I love it! Fantastic quilting and what a fab idea to use old linen. I'm a collector of strange old things and I think there are some red t-towles
in my cupboard. I recall some that had "the Commonwealth of Australia" on them. May have to go on a hunt.
Cheers and have a great day

Claudia,
I just took a peek at that web site...Wow!! You are right, beautiful work and to think they did that without electricity!! My mother is very good with
embroidery. She learned when she was a child and if she didn't do it just right my grandmother made her take it all out and start all over.
