patchwork obsession part one


checkbook cover in linen and cotton

Highly influenced by Sally Shim.
When I showed it to my husband he said, "Would you stop already?"
Lots of things are getting a patchwork covering in this house.

  1. Oooh, I love it!! The linen with bright fabrics combo is perfect! Just tell Kevin patchwork is cheaper than buying a whole piece of fabric...no wait he's smarter than that isn't he! Oh well, I think its great!!

  5. It's wonderful...and what's wrong with "everything in patchwork" I ask...sounds good to me :)

  6. My boyfriend has uttered that exact phrase just recently... in nearly the same context! And I agree with Mama Urchin, what else are you going to do with all your scraps?

    I love linen...

  10. In my defense, I already have the patchwork boxers and I was shown the checkbook cover after seeing progress on your seven other projects. These folks get a picture and three lines -- I live with it!

    It's a good thing you're so gorgeous and that you do such a good job at this stuff.

    Love ya girl!

  11. That is darling. My husband doesn't understand my craft obssessions either. Great colors. Beautifully detailed work. If I was that good at patchwork.. i'd cover Everything.

  12. I love it the cheque book cover. Patchwork makes everything look so cozy. I need to make an eye glass case for my sister...perhaps a patchwork one is in order!
