And then there was Essex Linen!

I have absolutely grown to adore Essex Linen by Robert Kaufman.  I am literally using it in everything!  From pouches to bags to quilts it has become my most versatile basic.  Here are a few examples using Essex Yarn Dyed Black  You will see in each example that the Essex is combined with cotton.
