These are Brenda Gervais patterns - one called "Buttonweeds and Bittersweet" and the other "Pocketful of Autumn". They arrived the other day and its taken all of my self-control not to just jump in and start them. But no, I need to finish up with the mess I've made already, before starting another one.
I love Brenda's designs. I will be making a couple of personal changes. She has stained these two with coffee - but I think that I'll leave mine in the brighter colors because that's the venue I'm working in these days. I'd rather they look like folk art than primitive 'olde' style. Also the 'pocket' won't be a pocket but mounted on its own. Its always fun to work a new pattern, even someone else's gives me the opportunity to experiment.
