Tea Towel, Romance

Heirloom roses and garden flowers banked against clipped boxwood, an English country register held in cloth.

Woven by Le Jacquard Français at Gérardmer in the Vosges. A jacquard damask, so the pattern reads on both faces. 50% cotton / 50% linen, cotton warp and linen weft, 24 by 31 inches, colourway Passion, a deep red.

For the friend who prunes her roses in February, the mother who still presses flowers.
