Toile fabric and wall paper have always been one of my favorites. In case you haven't heard of it, it's a type of pattern on white or off-white background with generally a pastoral theme of some kind. The pattern is a single color. Toiles were originally made in Ireland in the mid 18th Century and became popular in France and Britain.
Can you guess what I've made that will be added to the give away? It's a toile covered box in a beautiful red garnet. I learned how to make the fabric box from LynnB's wonderful blog, http://lynnscrossstitchtutorials.blogspot.com.
Now.....what shall I add the final week of the give away to go in the box? I've got ideas......stay tuned!
Cheers!
