Pickled Patchsmith welcomes Zakka 2.0

Pickled Patchsmith pieced a pair of patchwork peppers.

Where’s the pair of patchwork peppers pickled Patchsmith pieced?

 

......... and more to the point do they contain gingham?

 

If you must know the pair of patchwork peppers this Patchsmith pieced are being used as we speak.  And technically – no, they do not contain gingham (shock, horror!).  They do contain checked fabrics though but no gingham - not in the first week.

A shaped coaster is always fun to use and these were fun to make. I made a cardboard template of the pieces so that I could draw around them easily.  This really speeded things along.  I chose to make a pair in my favourite colours – red and green, but as peppers also come in yellow and orange there is enough colour choice for a quartet.  What a great start to the Zakka 2.0 sew-along.

p.s.  I wasn't really 'pickled' (slang for 'merry on wine') - it was just for the purposes of the tongue twister that I used this word.  I was going to use 'perfect' or 'pretty' but daughter pointed out that we have trade-description laws in this country!

p.p.s. Check out this week's host, Sew Take a Hike's blog for a nifty way to turn these coasters into pot pads!
