patch works

I

'm a patchwork addict. I tend to look at everything through patchwork-tinted glasses—like hmmm, could I adapt that to patchwork? I wonder what that would look like in mismatched calico prints? It's a sickness that I don't want to be cured from, I must say. It was easy to see how cute a Christmas tree would be in stripy little patches of green with a tiny little patchy trunk, and the best part is how easily it comes together! Add an appliqued star with a little embroidery and you've got a well-rounded craft project, as far as I'm concerned. Amy had the brilliant idea to make a companion to the tree—a stack of presents! Of course she didn't have to ask me twice. I went to town and combined fabric, vintage buttons, and velvet ribbon. I can't wait to see what you come up with—this project is a perfect canvas for your creativity!
