Harlequin’s Folly ♦️

The harlequin pattern has its roots in the theatrical world of commedia dell’arte. Harlequin—or Arlecchino—was the mischievous servant character whose costume evolved from a patchwork of colorful sc
Quite the Pigeons 🐦💜

Cotton Harlequin Bug 🪲✨

This week’s prompt for @thetuesdaycollective introduced me to the wonderfully colorful Cotton Harlequin Bug—and I couldn’t resist giving each little beetle its own decorative personality.

Tea Time at Hedgerows End 🫖🍂

There’s something comforting about the ritual of putting the kettle on, choosing a favorite cup, and settling in with a good book.

I hope it brings a little coziness to your sewing, decorating, and everyday ritu
