First I saw this little hexagons on Vero's blog and have fallen in love with them. I was reading instructions how to creat them and thought that would be a great project for a beginner to quilting like me. Not really a good time to beginn a new project, because I have to do a lot of working [...]

There are a lot of historical sights nearby my hometown which I never have visited. Maybe you know - the grass is [...]

I'm storing a lot of old linen on our attic. Mostly old handwoven bed sheets from my grandmother and my great grandmother. This linen is surely more than hundred years old and it's perfect for working old samplers in a higher count on it. Just I was looking for some linen for a new project and [...]
