Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

I've always loved red and blue together.
Actually, this is an interesting one more for the fabric - it is not the standard gingham, but a more complex check that means the chicken scratch is a little more subdued.
Guess who bought some purple gingham today??? :)
I like the addition of the second color. Most I've seen are just white on the gingham, which is a more subtle look.
