Your bookmarks are great! I love Miyazaki, but the Bigfoot with the text is the cat’s pajamas.

Brief Description: My wire bins have been a catch-all for all of my quilting fabrics, scraps, and WIPs. So I moved all the scraps to a plastic tub, gathered up each of the projects, finished cutting some FQs and then organized those by color value.

Oh em goodness, that sheeeep! So adorable.

Did you ever work on a pattern called The Great American Afghan? My organizer found my three or four squares of it and was like, “Oh, this looks like a WIP.” I nervously laugh, uh sure. I only last worked on it twelve years ago :face_with_peeking_eye:

It is. I remember the giant bobbles being the hardest part.

@tendstowardschaos I aspire to have my scrap squares as organized as yours.

@plaidpineapple The colors on your quilt blocks are lovely! Can’t wait to see more.

@jellybean What a cute little sheep! I say this with great affection, but it looks like it is just crying out to be tossed.

What kind of colored pencils do you use? They’re so smooth.

Mostly Crayola, with some Prismacolor depending on what colors I have (I have a lot more Crayola colors! :grin:). I know for the background of the Discworld ATC (the one with the turtle), I used Crayola with Prismacolor on top, then blended them - I wish I had taken a picture before blending, because it made a huge difference!

I have some Prismacolor Colorless Blender Pencils that I use to blend colors together and smooth out single colors - they work really well!

Oh yeahhhh… I should see if those blenders will work on other brands. I have quite a few Prismacolors, but I recently got into Bruynzeel and Cretacolor.

I totally recognized Discworld–yay!!!
