Patchwork 1970s Style



I have the last of the acquisitions from my visit to Wales to show you! My nan gave me most of her haberdashery supplies, and tucked in among it all was this booklet full of patchwork patterns from the 1970s. I think it was originally part of a kit because I received some plastic hexagonal templates as well. This was really handy as patchwork is most definitely back in! 



Erm... cosy!




Does this guy remind anyone of Humpty from Playschool? Am I showing my age now...



This is just an advert in the booklet but it made me smile for obvious reasons. Can I have a patchwork quilt with Benjamin Bunny on it please?


I may go in for more muted colour schemes (though I hear mustard yellow and orange are back in this year, folks) but I'm pretty enthusiastic about making a patchwork cushion now!

Have a perfectly tessellated Monday,
