Who doesn’t love receiving mail? A couple of weeks ago 2 new pantographs arrived in my letterbox, one of which has already been put to use on a great vintage linen quilt. I never know what quilts are going to arrive in my studio and this one was a wonderful surprise in its uniqueness - a happy mix of tea towels, table toppers and linens collected over many years.

‘Daisy Chain’ pantograph in progress on Lucy’s quilt.

Not all the pieces are square, but in this quilt that fits right in with the vintage feel of the fabrics.

A light colored thread with a simple, open (not dense) pattern, puts the finishing touches on this special quilt. Well done Lucy, you have a fabulous functional art piece that has upcycled many orphan fabric pieces. Time to check out my closet and thrift stores for my own vintage upcycling project.
