Using gorgeous soft shades of teal with some highlight brick tones for interest, Lynette has created this wonderful journal cover with matching pencil case.

Badger Cottage is one of our most popular patterns and favorite class project because of all the different techniques to learn. Techniques include Appliqué, embroidery, yoyo making and English paper piecing - lots of things to keep students busy!
