I saw some wonderful textiles from Diane Shink's collection. I was at her home in Montreal last month and we spent about 3 hours just looking through her stuff. Honestly, I could have stayed longer.
She had boxes of pin cushions and tins of buttons.
She had antique quilt blocks everywhere.

| Victorian morning fabric (grey ones) and blue-striped denim in the centre. |

| More Art Deco fabric |
She had a cedar box full of wool quilts. (The
bar quilt came from there)
She has a collection of almost 900
aprons! Plus a book about them.

| This apron came from Germany. |
I particularly loved the mending on this one.
Everything in her collection had a story. I learned so much from her! A la prochaine, Diane.
