I recently had fun piecing together the leftover bits of fabric from other projects (the corners cut out from project bags, mostly) and making some free-form patchwork pieces. At the end of last year, I must have been on a grey-peach-green colour vibe!
I didn't have enough scraps for a whole quilt, so instead used the patchwork to make some handy little pouches and project bags for my etsy shop. I love being able to make things from salvaged pieces... nothing is wasted. Now I'm saving up squares for my next afternoon of patch-sewing... this time it seems to be lots of blues and neutral fabrics.
In other news, Tom and I have been watching the second season of The Crown (along with nearly everyone else I've spoken to lately) which I'm really enjoying. Beautiful set design and lots of interesting history to read up on as you go.
I've just finished Kate Atkinson's Life After Life (highly recommended!) and am now reading Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates which is extraordinary and changing the way I think about things.
Are you reading or watching anything special at the moment?

The flowers at the top of this post are alstroemeria (Peruvian lilies) growing in my Mum's garden while we were visiting this summer. Their peachy-pink petals growing against the white stucco wall needed to be captured.
