It encapsulates the feel and appearance of your book so much better than a more conventional quilt ever could have done. It really is a work of art and an object of cultural and historic interest as well as a fully functioning cooking accessory and, of course, a reminder of your Mum.

I love the tea stains - to represent the usefulness of the object but also the passage of time during which the attitudes have changed a bit. I also like the new binding on the 'vintage' article, because it's almost like a reminder that as such practical items can be handed down, so can some of the outmoded ideas!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693903606189589310noreply@blogger.com
