I recently discovered Escape to the Chateau, a British TV series, and I've been treating myself to watching an old episode each day. It's the story of a zany couple who purchased and have been restoring an abandoned chateau in France.
The storyline is enchanting, the cast members are jolly and endearing, and the photography is stunning. It's an escape-from-reality fairy tale. I'm ready to move to France, or at least to hold my next wedding there! 😉
And my current interest in the old chateau nudged me to explore the trunk full of French General fabrics in my stash, collected through the years. It's been rainy, and I've been happily holed up in my sewing room, piecing soft elegant Salon Stars.
I've reassigned all my French General fabrics from the "SAVE for some mysterious special Someday" category to "I will not live long enough to use all my fabrics, so I might as well enjoy them right now." I especially like this gorgeous border stripe!
