'I don't really like patchwork,' I tell Ann in Frangipani, the fabric shop in Sandy Bay. 'I think it's a bit twee.'
Needless to say I am there to buy yet more fabric to make another patchwork item for the little people in my life.
What I do like about patchwork is that it a bit of a mystery at the beginning what all the fabrics are going to look like together. It's also rather meditative, the repetitive task of sewing little squares together. I guess it's like anything - the more time and effort you put into it, the greater the satisfaction at the end.
So twee or not I have a bit of a patchwork addiction going...
