@craftADDchick I just realized that the patch in the first post is one you gave me! It became part of patch bag for my mom.

Iām glad I could inspire such an awesome project! I love this idea.
Sadly my project stalled. It seemed so overwhelming considering sewing them all togetherā¦.I think it was the odd shapes that were throwing me off. This totally accommodates for that without taking away from the gloriously funky shapes of some of them.
So happy to see you posted it.

This is so super cool! I stopped making/swapping patches after I finished my sewing machine cover but this is making me reconsiderā¦

@roler - I donāt know how serious you were being, but the patches with less connection points DO flutter when caught by a breeze. I could have stabilized it more, by using more clips, but instead I kept them for adding more. I donāt have to worry about kitties, or small, grabby fingers. If I did, I probably would have installed it to go wider horizontally (vs allowing a longer vertical fall).
@curiousfae - one of the things I noticed in the TM video cADDc posted - that I had completely forgotten - was how she accommodated the random shapes by hand stitching, so in the second video, there were little āwindowsā of blank space which I find really appealing. By either stitching to a solid surface OR by hand stitching, you could probably work around the wonky little shapes better.
After watching the video, I thought if I start getting close to running out of space, I could just wonky stitch them together, and it would be more of a patched, MAQ (mini art quilt). It would also stabilize it, roler!
Also, this makes me thinkā¦ooohhh ā¦MAQ swapsā¦
@MightyMitochondria - I wrote the name of the swapper on the back of each of them! And you are definitely in attendance!

Okay, I think Iām totally stealing this method of attachment (or some version of it) for my science patches. I havenāt stitched them together yet, because Iāve been trying to work out how to fill all of the gaps (I have a collection of smaller patches started, but itās not nearly enough). Something like this will work perfectly! I have a couple of magnetic hooks that I can put around the window frame (its in my classroom, so itās metal), and then I can add a dowel.
So, I just took a break and checked out the clips- theyāre on sale, so I ordered a bunch. I also ordered a roll of chain (which may not get used) to hook the clips onto.
And, I just got access to the spreadsheet (I had it sent to the wrong email), so Iāll be officially adding everyone to the swap now

Iām going to see if my magnetic hooks will work this week. Of course, I have to clear out the area behind the window first, but it needs to be done, so itās a good motivation.
