Patchwork…

Those last months, weeks and days, Mister French Cancan spent all his time and
energy to move his artist studio and painting workshop in an old house called
"LA MANUFACTURE". Of course vintage and industrial furnitures and accessories compose the place yet but the hunt of good stuffs is not totaly end. One of the last piece need to be found… A 19th century blue patchwork quilt wich is expected by the old and destroyed leather easy chair…Mister cancan really knows 19th and early 20th blue patchworks and he uses to buy and sell those indigo treasures he finds in flea markets and old houses. But these are not the same patchworks he is now looking for…not the same, BUT REALLY SIMILAR FABRICS…
