"I have started a Cathedral Window, but I know it'll take years for me to get it done(it's going to be all done by hand)."
I met a woman once on a bus (1970s) who was making a Cathedral Window for her daughter from a bolt of fabric the woman's mother had bought at the turn of 1900s from a door to door salesman. She also made framed piece from the paper off the bolt teling about the fabric. I always wished I had been able to see it finished.
