Thank you for such a beautiful post, Fiona. I love what you have done and I too had no idea that this material was bark cloth. It used to be around a lot, but I did not realise that was how it was made. Thank you so much.

oh my gosh I didn't know this fabric was bark cloth. It has been a big part of my history (being an Australian this fabric was everywhere) I adore what you have done with your latest find. Almost tempted to ask if you will post internationally!!

Oh this is such a special story. Thank you. And I love your words "Homespun living" I haven't heard that term before. If it's OK I would like to use it too?

Your story about the war blankets remind me of a dressing gown I have that my mum made out of an old blanket. It is so warm and cosy. To recycle, to reuse, to re-create is our gift to the next generation.

Thank you Fiona for such an inspiring post.
