- Three times three times three equals ... ?

I have begun to stitch my linen patches into trios ...


for no better reason than it lets me avoid committing to a plan anytime soon. And I don't have to think too hard about being random, which is sometimes hard for me to do.

The patches vary in size and shade and thread count, coming as they do from a variety of old table linens and thrifted shirts. And I'm finally trying visible seams after commenting in this post from Jude one year ago ...

while pondering how I might make the seams even more obvious. Maybe.

For now, there are many more patches, in widths of one-and-a-quarter, one-and-a-half, and one-and-three-quarters inches (yes Grace, I'm still working at being a piece of work), but all with unmeasured lengths so none of them are exactly square except by chance ...


because I wanted to see where that might take me.
