Ruthie, I read about the homespun fabric you like to embroidery. I am interested where you get it, as I like the linen look. I tryed to find out where you are, your profile does not say. Thanks,

dlmds, I am with you - I don't know the difference between fabric for anything - Hehehe! I know you got some help here - so I am just leaving you a *!
211079Wow, dlmds, this question had been and gone by the time I got here! I don't know what you would call homespun in the US, sometimes we have different names for different fabrics - gets confusing! It's similar to calico, but a slightly looser weave, which makes it softer, it drapes better, and comes in a range of plain colors. Have a look at my project *Hummingbird Window*, (the easiest way to find it is to sort by flowers), that is stitched on *seaded homespun*, which gives it a slight country look. Thanks to everyone who answered, hugs and flowers to you all.

7151Hello, If Ruthie is smart and is in Australia, she is still in bed right now. But as the kids have me up, maybe I can help. Homespun is what lots of quilters use for their plain colours and is great to embroider on. It is 100% cotton and I am wondering if it is the same thing that folks here refer to as muslin. Quite often muslin here is very lightweight loose weave, but it can be a bit heavier. Homespun is a tighter weave and quite a stable fabric. It does have a linen look about it.
