Boxes In the Loft! (re-opened)


This is another magazine of my vast collection which I have had for quite sometime,  well since before 2002.

Flicking through the pages back them,  I came across this pattern for table place mats, this was slightly before Vintage became what it is today.

I created this black work picture.  The pattern can be found here

  7. Isn't it a joy rediscovering things that you've previously packed away? Your needlework picture is lovely Julie, and I like the fact that its really bold; I think you can see the detail more using just one colour.
