When I was slicing and dicing scraps into 2.5" squares I thought to myself, "Self, you've cut so abundantly that you're going to have to make a journal cover in this colorway too."



168 squares later, my patchwork fabric is enough for just the chair back.  Self retorts, "I guess it's back to the cutting board for you!"

Oh, we sound more dysfunctional that we are, I assure you. 

Well, I will have a recovered chair by Monday.  I do declare.  Also, turns out my circular needle does have a purpose in life.  Hurrah!  More details then.

For today, I'm stopping by at Mr. Random's to select a winner of the Penny Sampler spot.  The magic number is comment #15.  That's Beth, who said, "Oh, Rachel--yesterday I thought about how much I would like to make your Wheel pattern. Today I bought it! I will think of you and your family as I make it, sending warm wishes your way." 

Thank-you, Beth!  And thanks to all of you again so much from my heart for helping us liquidate stock at Euphoria Maternity and Euphoria Baby whether by purchasing patterns or shopping direct.  We were so blessed by your orders!  It's satisfying to see good stuff that has been sitting on the shelves get off and out in the world to be used.  If there's anyone I'd like to send a deal to, it's you. Because you're awesome!  So thanks for making a difference.  You put the "sweet" in the bittersweet  of shutting down (ha! so corny, but it's true) by being a part of Stitched in Color, whether you purchased or not.

Have a wonderful weekend!
