Another quilt made with Portuguese cloth. Almost all my fabric comes from Portugal. I buy mostly vintage stock from old family shops. Buying material there totally thrills me, I am a fluster with pleasure. There's something about the feel of old cloth, the dyes, the patterns, the thick wooden counters, the wall to ceiling shelves, the labels and the people. I should add that, for me, it is affordable; any fabrics that I like in London are priced way out of my reach. Though if I cost in the travelling to remote Alentejo villages to find the shops it doesn't really make sense. Except that I love it.

You really know how to look for the precious things in Potugal!

Well, I am coming soon, will be writing a post...:-)
Adorei o quilt. A loja de tecidos faz-me lembrar, uma que existia na minha cidade natal Abrantes (a cidade florida de Portugal)onde a minha mãe comprava os tecidos para depois fazer os vestidos para mim e para a minha irmã. Obrigada por me fazeres recordar isto, que saudades...
Parabéns pelo teu blog.
