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.

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!!

Now why does my checkbook still have that boring ugly plastic cover from the bank?
Adding this to the to do list: check
Haha - a pun!

Well, you need to do something with all those little pieces right?

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

Sarah said...

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...

Very cute! And you aren't going too far until he gets patchwork boxers. Wait I shouldn't give you any more ideas. :)

That Sally - she made a patchwork lover out of me! The cover is so cute - I hope we'll see more.

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!

You can call me Betty, or Bethany, or Beth ...Just don't call me late for dinner. said...

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.

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!

Linda said...

Very cute... J's is falling apart, maybe I should make him one! :)
