Abalone shell that came in my soup in Taiwan. Mother of pearl, growth lines and breathing holes.

Patterns abound, almost invisible, like habits. Every house has them, surely. In mine, they're sometimes cornered, hidden in shadow. Just as often, they're in plain sight, like Poe's purloined letter, and no matter how hard you look you see nothing at all.

A pattern that caught my eye!

Great vintage pattern from the 1970's -- includes patterns for a simple dress (with or without sleeves), wide leg pants and tunic.

Pattern from Butterick company, there's no date, but the styles look like the '70's. Pattern is labeled for size 14, a 36 inch bust. UNCUT.

I've been inspired by the members of the Cocorico Bee and my fabulous Beehivers to start drafting my own paper-pieced designs!

At this stage I'm just dipping my toe in the water. So far I've modified a couple of patterns, and with this one I've tried drafting a block based on a picture I saw of a completed quilt. It's very angular, which hopefully will be comparitively easy to achieve.

It's for my Bug's Beehive quilt, "The Busy Sea at Night". Can you guess what it is?

Every morning there are different patterns in the ice on my windshield.

Love this pattern! Thank you Jenny! Made this in a size small but I think I'll go up a size for next time as it's a little tight in the bust and underarms. I was right on the edge of the measurements for the small so should have known. Inspired by the other red plaid Tova shirts I've been seeing :)

I've often admired the Chinese women (and some men) in New York who combine patterns in their outfits, usually plaids and flowers in loose shirts and trousers. I especially like this woman's combination. The child's isn't bad either.

Lately, I've been seeing tourists with striped t-shirts and checked shorts. Have they appropriated the Chinese ladies' style? Their patterns aren't as good, sorry.
