Patterns

Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry. – Richard P. Feynman
 
My life tends to run in patterns.
 
Sometimes I dream of patterns.
 
My favorite subject in design school was the study of pattern & repeat.
 
One semester I spent a week just discussing the word repeat (and an entire semester trying to define the word).
 
I have certainly spent the greater part of the last decade working with patterns.
 
I look for patterns everywhere I go and in everyone I meet.
 
Here are a few of my new favorite pattern resources (see the scrolling bar at the bottom).

Thank you for the applique and the pictures of the body of work you share with all of us out here in the rolling hills south of Birmingham. What a treat with my first cup of coffee.
