Quilting with Vintage Needlework

I started out using only vintage quilt blocks but because I love all kinds of needlework I found myself collecting and using a variety of linens as well. Depending on the condition the pieces are in I use them whole or cut them up to recover the best bits. It’s always fun to see how they turn out because I never know when I start what they will look like, they just evolve.
