Crazy Quilt Dossier: 6.28 Marni Patch

 Before we get to the patch work, let's pause for a cuppa

The colors of the Russel Wright china matches the star graphics perfectly!
I was sad to see those holes in the top star (thanks/no thanks to Lou the cat).
This patch came from a tee that I purchased at Canal Jeans (NYC, RIP) in 1996 and wore when I went on safari in Tanzania that fall.

Decisions...
Visible mend or patch?
Patch!
This came from a Marni dress that I got from Mel in a clothing swap at a blogger meetup in Vancouver BC in 2015.
The dress was always too small (I grabbed it for the print) and I deconstructed it before COVID.
Admittedly, this bit came to mind because it had escaped the Mending Bag and was on the floor in plain sight.

Done!
