Weekly Pattern Wednesday Week #4


Another Wednesday...another pattern. I'm playing Lynn Krawczyk's Weekly Pattern Wednesday.

Today's pattern is rather ap-peeling....isn't it? It's made using grapefruit! If you'd like to learn how to make print blocks from citrus peels, you can see Issue #24 of my free online newsletter, Julie B Booth Surface Design News. If you like what you see, you can sign up for the Newsletter in the right-hand column.

To see Lynn's pattern and the patterns of other players...visit Lynn's blog today. While you're at it...why not join in on the fun! Post a pattern and leave a comment on Lynn's post.

  3. This is a great pattern and an interesting technique. I never thought to carve the peels and rinds and print with them.

    1. Hi Janelle- I'm always amazed at the resources we have right at our fingertips (or in the refrigerator) to print fabrics!

    1. Thanks, Deb. It's fun to keep thinking about how to use stuff in the house/kitchen. Just when I think I'll run out of ideas...another pops up! Wonder how dry lemon slices would print...?
