Hello, 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.

dlmds, it is a waiting game with Ruthie you know, she is sleeping when we are awake and awake when we are sleeping. Wait Wait Wait, on Ruthie. HaHa A flower for you dlmds.

Ruthie should be awake!!! I am .Don't you have Homespun aross there ? We will just have to send some aross. It is in plain colours only I used a lot in quilting and for backing

Wow, 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.

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 *!
