Readers’ letters

One day last summer, I found my 24-year-old granddaughter relaxing in the garden on a rug I made when she was a baby. Remembering the ‘Patchwork Spread’ pattern in the July/ August 2016 issue of LandScape, I thought it was time to make her a new one. I collected a number of pairs of old jeans from the family, which had some natural worn crease marks in an interesting pattern. This reminded me of the effects created by tie-dyeing, so I decided to experiment on a cushion to accompany the rug. After several attempts, I completed the project. Now Chloë can relax on her new picnic rug and cushion thanks to LandScape and a little help from me. Deirdre Whitworth, via email
