Linen is like having creme brulee for desert.
The shades of ivory, tan or grey make any colour stand out. I now appreciate to let my hand touch a piece of old linen. My mother gave me this piece of linen last time I went home. A great aunt had woven it herself.
I wish I could show you( at the cottage) the wedding ring quilt I made few years ago. The spaces between the rings I used linen. I was a challenge to work with the linen but the finish result I loved. A traditional pattern with a modern approach.
Love linen, especially for cross-stitch. Using some now. Many, many, many little threads to the inch!
