This patchwork has a beautiful soft palette of colours. It isn't quite finished so that whoever buys it from me at the coming Antique fairs will have a little bit of work to do...
There are some quite delicious cottons in the design. I would say that it dates from the 1930's and 1940's .
It came with a later set of patchwork pieces, I am guessing from the 1970s?
Some are already sewn into usable shaped pieces, but this bag is brimming with a whole big project!
I will be bringing all these items and more to The Shepton Mallet 3 day Antiques Fair at the Bath and West showground in Somerset this coming weekend. Click on the link to reach the IACF website for full details of opening times. Please note that complimentary tickets can only be used on the Saturday and Sunday.
As well as my usual costume, textiles and decorative bits and bobs, I am also taking a selection of small pieces of furniture. All being well (and weather permitting) we should be able to display items outside at the front of the tent....

Oooh, just look at that hexy flower with all those rosebud designs (prob eiderdown fabric)? It's too lovely for words. Look forward to seeing you next weekend (it will have to be the Sunday for us). Save some goodies!

Pretty patchwork pieces.....I am sure they will disappear quickly at Shepton.
In answer to your question the other day, no, I haven't been to Newark for a few years now...I find I can buy just as well in the North East.

What patience some folk have - I'd never be able to make anything like that I know! Hope you did well at Talent for Textiles today - it was interesting to see what it was all about though I only spent £1 - I am determined not to buy more fabric till I have used some of waht I have though that lace you had was tempting!
Ooooooooooh! Pretties!!

Hi Liz, SO nice to see you and your lovely smile yesterday. We didn't have such a successful shop but got a few things. I might try my luck at the flea. I was going to come back for the ticking but decided I didn't feel like making anything at the moment. I have so many projects on the go, didnt want to add to the "pile". Thanks for the comments about my hair. I did mean to wear one of the clips forgot at the last minute. You will be at the flea right?
