In the quilting world I'm known for my heirloom quilting on vintage linens...turning them into one-of-a-kind wholecloth linen quilts.

I came across it recently and since I've been on a roll cutting stuff up I decided I could do something with this. I took my rulers and fussy cut all of the embroidered areas...
