This is the beautiful coaster that @Magpie sent to me! It’s so beautifully made I’m envious of her sewing ability!
I use the coaster every single day not too long after I leave here in the morning! :slight_smile:

So glad you like it! The fabric was a pastel/Easter-y shade so I dyed it with alcohol ink.
Oona is the best!

That paisley scrap is calling out to me! I hope you find something fun to do with it, and all the other scraps as well. Those ceramic pieces are crazy cool! My fingers are itching to crochet around them.

During one of the TM swap rounds, @MightyMitochondria posted about the idea of taking one of the 80s sewing panels, but modernizing it. Or spinning it to make it unique.

I was immediately in love, and we agreed to a personal swap.

Here is the front panel of a sweet grab and go bag, using THE BEST Halloween panel

Many of the panels have small line drawings of the finished product, and she incorporated this one on the front flap. Can you see allllllll the tiny, textural stitches and beautiful fraying?

She even incorporated the instructions! Really clever.

On the back is the little cat head…see the label? This is The Goodie Cat for sure!

The eyes are 3D, and in green! Me-ow! The D rings are a good add.

She made an inside pocket out of the other cat head. I inserted her notecard to show it in action! Really smart design

But she also sent one of the ladies who started it all as a large TM patch! The panel vests all have these ladies, and here we see Judith is rocking her best Halloween finery!! She is FANTASTIC and SLAAAYYYS!! As well as some fun seasonal stickers.

THANK YOU SO MUCH @MightyMitochondria ! It has been one of my most favorite swaps, and I am almost finished with yours, as well! You are so creative - I’m jelly of my owm fortune!! : )

Yay!!! I’m so glad you love the bag and that sassy gal definitely looks like a Judith. Thank you so much for understanding my vision and not thinking I’m a complete weirdo. You are one of my very favorite people to craft for. :orange_heart::black_heart::orange_heart::black_heart:

Here is the original panel for reference:

@sloth003 : “I have some supplies for you, come & get 'em!”

So we met up for drinks & snacks at a fabulous taco shop…


And afterwards, went to fetch the stuff.
:astonished:

A selection of the contents:




Whoa, these are very weirdly wonderful.


I never made it into the slothcave, sorry folks, no secrets from the room of wonder will be revealed by me today. I did have to use the loo though & I can tell you the house is positively full of quilts, it’s amazing.
This one is hanging in the main floor powder room, from a word swap at the old place. It’s SO COOL. There are swears:
