From the Pat Albeck WILD FLOWERS Collection: STUNNING Pre Owned Vintage Pat Albeck for The National Trust for Scotland, Pure Linen Kitchen Tea Towel: WILD FLOWERS FROM SCOTLAND. As you know by now…, I love vintage linens, previously loved & cared for pieces passing to new loving hands. Apparently, you do too!! The thread that seems to unify us is our interest for those coming before us & the items loved by them. As my interests & collections grow, I’m combining my love for Vintage linens & graphic arts, which brings me to the following. ABOUT: Textile designer Pat Albeck was born in Hull, a suburb of England. Judith Patricia Albeck was the youngest of the four daughters of Polish-Jewish emigrs Max & Sarah Albeck. The couple had arrived in Britain in 1910 from a village near Warsaw where Max’s father had been the local rabbi. Patricia, who died at age 87, was once labelled queen of the tea towel, & her talent saw her design ceramics, wallpaper, tableware, children’s book & a range of merchandise including those tea towels for the National Trust. Behind her huge, funky glasses & winsome smile was a woman who represented the epitome of the English craft world in a way that was both innocent & refreshing. Albeck worked literally until the end of her life. She sat on design committees & was an examiner for many art schools. Her archives are in the Victoria & Albert Museum. Her designs exuded a touch of Beatrix Potter, whether it was cats cooking with huge wooden spoons, or gardening & decorating. She created her famous cats tea towel for the National Trust in 1990.
