Everything patchwork here this week. A little sketchbook cover, with one of Jude’s moons finding a home:
You can see that I’ve couched a thicker thread (silk perle 3) over some of the seams, just to define some of the lines.
The little book of patchwork, I’m calling it. Somewhere to collect and join fragments of thought.
Inspiration comes from unlikely places. This outdoor paving kit from The Range translates perfectly:
I’ve dug out these fragments of late Victorian patchwork, just to look and to touch the antique papers.
This week I’m putting a patchwork sampler together, just to see how that might work. At some point there will be a (hexagon-free) paper-piecing patchwork course. Nothing wrong with hexagons, but paper piecing is much more than granny’s flower garden.
Looking at, and thinking through.

There’s something about reading Jude’s email/post and then clicking over here to see one of her moons across the pond…serendipity maybe.
ha! it’s a small world 🙂
Looking forward to the paper piecing course!
thanks so much for the vote of confidence 🙂
The sketchbook cover is delightful. I appreciate the video snippets!
thanks so much 🙂
I do love a bit of EPP – lovely sketchbook and cover.
thanks so much 🙂 EPP is really the only way I do patchwork now.
the level of excited I am about a paper-piecing class if very high indeed!
(but no rush, it always takes me forever to finish classes. I’m still finishing up Stitch a Little Landscape!)
thanks so much for your enthusiasm Em 🙂 Still thinking it through but hoping to start soon.
Hmm.. just tried to comment and it failed. *waves*
