letter to Wardrobe
Dear Wardrobe,
I am stuck in winter season overseas and what am I to wear? Wallet Toscano says to grab that turtleneck in the store down the corner of the street... and Red Culottes Hand-Me-Downs, who is afraid of the cold, (and as testimony of that fact has taken up residence in Suitcase Mini) asks if I would be so kind as to give it leave to take a peek at the passing world under Old Green Checkered Coat, who's already all raring to go out and face the chilly winds.

Lost in a game of chess.....again, but i thought it made for a good photo against the fire. (i really need to get better)
In early Sanskrit chess (c. 500–700) the king could be captured and this ended the game. The Persians (c. 700–800) introduced the idea of warning that the king was under attack (announcing check in modern terminology). This was done to avoid the early and accidental end of a game. Later the Persians added the additional rule that a king could not be moved into check or left in check. As a result, the king could not be captured, and checkmate was the only decisive way of ending a game.
Before about 1600, the game could also be won by capturing all of the opponent's pieces, leaving just a bare king. This style of play is now called annihilation or robado. In Medieval times players began to consider it nobler to win by checkmate, so annihilation became a half-win for a while, until it was abandoned

Pattern is "Checkmate" by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique. Made with 16 fat quarters of Juniper Berry fabric by Basic Grey for Moda.
Chess is a board game played between two players. It is played on a chessboard, which is a square-checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the start, each player controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove or defend it from attack on the next move.
This is the 3rd version of the Checkmate 66 amp that I've seen. There sure were a lot of Checkmate amp models made. Someone must have been buying them!
I know that they were very inexpensive at the time they were first made and were available at Sears, Roebuck & Montgomery Ward department stores, as well as Western Auto etc. They used to be considered junk but now have a certain collectible vibe, as they represent that 60's/70's era of garage bands on every block!
This idea was shamelessly stolen from a photography magazine. I have no scruples, so I decided to give it a try.. :-)
Checkmate.
