Chintz and silk patchwork cushion on display at National Trust Cotehele, dated between 1750 and 1800. I wonder who stitched it and if they used scraps from cast off gowns #textiletuesday#patchwork#silk
This is lovely, and yes, they must have done, surely? Nothing was ever wasted.
One day someone will pick up something we've sewn and wonder about us.
