When I peruse the aisles of my local antique malls I find myself attracted to two things. Artfully displayed kitchenware and linens draw me into booths with their colors, their repetition, and their textures.

I wanted to recreate that feeling in a pattern that could be used in the kitchen. My goal was to create a pattern that would feel equally at home as a dish towel, a kitchen tablecloth, an apron, or endpapers of a cookbook.
