Michelle! Hello, it's Rachel from the V&A who moved to New York! Just wanted to let you know that Beth Gutcheon is also an author and wrote a brilliant book recently republished by Persephone Books - you should check it out! It's called Still Missing.
I want this Patchwork Primer! I had to leave my unfinished quilt at home. :(
Can't wait to find a copy of that, Persephone books are so lovely. Have you read 'Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day' by Winifred Watson? Such cute pictures.
It's sad you had to leave your patchwork at home, but I'm sure NY is much more exciting!
Have just happened across your blog from another sewing blog but am also an avid reader of Rachel (above)'s blog - blog land is small!
Anyway, I've got a copy of this book too - it was a freecycle book that I got along with some other much older embroidery and sewing patterns. It's lovely isn't it - so evocative of what is now a dying art (and unfortunately one which I am not exactly doing a good job of reviving myself just yet!).

Sounds really interesting, and what a bargain!

Hi Rachel! How's it all going over in NY?

Hi Michelle!
It's going great, thank you! New York is amazing and it's so exciting having a new city to explore!
I know, aren't they? I have read Miss Pettigrew - I love it! Such a cosy feel good read!
Hope all is well at the V&A, I miss you all! x
