patchwork love

i made a pair of these today,

inspired by the impatient patchworker.

i pieced the squares, then appliqued the larger square onto 

some natural linen

(no messy threads or raw edges from the piecing on the inside).

there is no zipper, the back has two overlapping pieces of the same linen.

bright and cheerful, just right for this time of year!

yesterday i was working with catnip, 

using a funnel to squinch it into small openings. 

henry was up on the sewing table, nudging and snuffling, 

making accurate stitches very difficult.

i left the room for a second and heard a clatter.

honestly, henry, what would i do without your help?
