A RRR friend/worker Lyndal gets is a subscriber to a beautiful English textile/craft magazine called Selvedge. Which she always shares with me. In this months issue there is a whole thing on quilts including a feature on the Embroidered Quilts of Bengal. I have never seen these or heard of them, but I was blown away by them. Aren't they extraordinary?
