Three words I never knew I would write together - turkey red damask. And then, digging at a flea market, I found this....
Twenty one differnt turkey red damask scraps sewn together to make a tablecloth, picnic blanket or panel? Maybe it was sewn together by the wife of a mill weaver - he brought home a scrap of everything he was able to weave on the loom for posterity. I think the graphics and different odd shapes make this a real find - and I love how all of the reds are the same hue. I don't know if it's American, French or English...but I'm loving it and can see a great cheater cloth for a Moda collection!

ReplyDeleteI don't often appreciate 'cheater cloth,' as it seems too contrived. This however, makes my heart sing! great find! hope you can talk MODA into it...
