Thanks Grandma! I'm half way through the first cushion cover - just three to start! Still musing over quotes I want so much for it to be extra special!
My Dad a super gardener had two quotes. "If you cannot eat it or sell it do not grow it" and when sowing seed, "One row for the beasties, one row for the birds and two rows for us, keeps everyone happy" I think we have come full circle and back to growing for our own tables and not to outdo the neighbours.
Charlie, way back when, I had to design lots of things for the Middle Eastern market and was told, 'Anything with trees or greenery will do'! We do not realise how lucky we are to have rain.
