I feel happy when I think of gingham check. It makes me think of a picnic or a table cloth, and all the good times with family and friends. I have been experimenting with uneven smocking into the shape of a heart instead of straight across rows. I found my experiment worked! Also gingham check provides an easy grid to follow. that certainly makes me happy. Also, you can create a color change.
