    Hugs to you Mary, I know what you mean about needing the smell of someone you have lost, I recently came across a silk scarf that belonged to my Grandma and it still smelled like her. It was like I was transported back in time!
    The fabric is great. Take good care of yourself, Ada :)

    Now there's a good idea! Might try a raw edge one myself, one of these days.

    But what is that ? A ray of sunshine - I'd better get out there quick!

    Just when I thought I would be able to be untempted by this fabric, you had to go and make this adorable Union Jack. Really, Mary, what were you thinking? This is SO cute!
