My latest eBay win - Assisi cloths are not commonly found - I rarely see them here anyway, don't know about overseas.
Detail of the lovely stitching.

Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

Gina this tablecloth is incredible! I've got goosebumps looking at it! Thanks for sharing.
What a great find Gina! You must be stoked to have it in your collection now :)
It's lovely!

Gina, This piece is incredibly beautiful. Why is it called an Assisi cloth? Cheers Judy
Hi girls, thanks for visiting! Judy, Assisi is the term used to describe this style of embroidery, where only the outline of the subject (usual animal or floral) is stitched, and the background filled in with cross stitch. It is said to have originated in the town of Assisi in Italy.
