Denyse Schmidt Chicopee and osnaburg (a utility cotton); vintage silk thread from my grandmothers thread stash. Designed, pieced and quilted as a gift for my sister's 50th birthday. Karla J. Buchholz Turner.

Dear ellebeesquilts, try some of the other colors also. They are also great in the middle of a rag quilt. They put a lovely texture to it after it is washed. Have fun shopping. :-)

Thank you for the recommendation to try some other colors. Is there a place / store you recommend that carries colors? I have only found natural.

Wonderful. The osnaburg works so very well in your project, its adds so very much texture to your creation. I like the colors you chose & your quilting really sets it off. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

I fell in love with osnaburg during this small project. I am heading out to add it to my permanent stock of sashing and backing material in my stash. Thank you for your sweet comments. I always count on your encouragement!
