I am in no way the 'master' at this sort of thing. Really, you could use any cotton but I don't know how soft the French linen is. I do think the batiste is probably the norm so whatever fabrics are most like that would be best. My first project, the needle case, I think I did with simply 100% cotton and I can't say that I thought it was best. Wish I could easily just send a note to Segolene and ask her. :)<br />Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944882257793647449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-26247529927478270122013-10-26T02:33:07.035-05:002013-10-26T02:33:07.035-05:00This is fantastic!

Can you use vintage French linen or is the weave better with cotton?

It has been so hard to get back on track. Last night my husband asked how I was feeling. I said I was okay and he asked how I was really and I cried. I must move on and I am trying.

I'm so enamored of detail..and push myself far beyond what most people would..in terms of fabric art. <br /><br />I'm growing but don't think I'm there yet..but I'd love to be called 'an artist' like my dad. I just don't feel like I've earned that title yet. :o)<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement!<br /><br />xo<br />DonnaDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944882257793647449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-61211492398798712792011-03-11T21:40:25.825-06:002011-03-11T21:40:25.825-06:00These are so beautiful!
