Brown has come up recently and so I have been thinking about it. A friend said she thinks  of me when she uses brown. WTH?? I always claim not to use brown. For the most part, that is true.<\/p>\n

Recently, however, I made some masks from brown. You probably noticed that they were brown when I posted about them the first time<\/a>. DH actually looks good in brown. All three of the browns in the photo have been in my fabric closet for YEARS. It was a good time to use them and I didn’t cut carefully.<\/p>\n

Sometime ago, I made a pillowcase for my mom that is actually brown, though I always call it chocolate. Calling it chocolate makes it easier for me to take. It is a rich color and I enjoyed making it. I really like the chocolate box fabric as well as the combinations of fabric I chose to coordinate.<\/p>\n

My sister also likes the turquoise and brown combination. I made a quilt for her with some brown. If I made it again, I would add a LOT more turquoise, but it is ok and Lil Sissy loves the quilt.<\/p>\n

Mostly, I don’t use brown because it is depressing. The pillowcase above is not depressing and the brown accents in the quilt are just accents, which is nice.<\/p>\n
