Anyway, enough technology, I've got a headache now. Back to my crazy patchwork. I added to the main piece at the weekend and this is how it looks. I think I will definitely need more of everything, applique, cutwork, text and pin tucked fabric. At the moment the main piece measures approximately 69x40cm, about 27x16 inches and I haven't decided how big I want it to be yet. I will definitely make a panel of something else to add to it though, more about that when I have decided what to do.
Following on from your comments re my reclaimed cloths, (thanks very much) I have put these in the shop today. They may aswell be in there as opposed to being locked away in the bowels of a cupboard so we shall see how it goes.

Wonderful that you put the reclaimed cloths in your shop. I just checked them out, and I so enjoy seeing them in their entirety. Again, brilliant idea in patching and reclaiming!
Your new work is full of such wonderful texture, I would love to just graze my, (freshly washed and very clean!) hand across its surface!
I'll second that-whenever I look at it, I want to run my hands over it! It all fits together so nicely-how do you decide when it's the size you want?
I think if anyone ran their hands over it I would pass out!! but thanks for the sentiment behind the thought!
I decide on the finished size when I decide what else I am going to put with it, panel wise, and also I just get a feeling when it's big enough, not very scientific or anything I'm afraid!
I would certainly keep my (washed and clean) rough skinned hands behind my back and my mouth shut if I could see the cloths in real life!
quite a nice display of cloths on shop... great. Your dilemma on site meters ... two always confusing!
It's so exciting to see how you use vintage linens. I've been enjoying your blog so much.
what wonderful work, i love it all.
