While Im new to the technique, Ive loved and collected gingham for yearsI even have a vintage apron with chicken scratch on it! This feels like the perfect time to dip into my stash of gingham and threads. The book is full of charming projects; I especially love the blue gingham dress. Its even inspired me to finally use my pink gingham collection for a quilt Ive been saving cuttings for from BH&G magazine for years. Watch this space to see my progress! * @notjustnat *
