She will even show you how to use the lace at the bottom of the pillowcase in your quilt. I wish I had saved some of the lovely pillowcases and other linens from my younger years. I do have two tablecloths that I will use for wholecloth quilts, after I practice on some that I hope to find in the thrift stores. Have fun!
Craftsy was offering a free class, and I chose one taught by Cindy Needham. It was
wonderful and I thought to myself "She was so good, any other class I take, if not taught by her, could possibly be a waste." It's good to hear she's teaching another - this time I'll pay!
I forgot she did a lot with vintage linens, thanks for the reminder. I'm certainly going to check into it.
