Love that little birdie hoop! I never thought to take pictures of the back of my hoop, I covered it as well. It just gives a nice clean finished look.

That’s my go to way to cover the backs of hoops. It does make them look clean and polished.

Wow this gallery has BLOWN UP! I can’t begin to keep up, so I will just say… I am in awe of everyone’s creativity. This is such a beautiful tribute to our group.
Speaking of which, I wanted to share something truly special - an item that arrived, unexpected, on my doorstep from @jemimah. My heart is still overflowing from her generousness and kindness, sending this out.
It’s an absolutely adorable hand-painted card, along with a stunning prayer flag with a swallow on it. I don’t think I’ve ever said it out loud, but swallows are sort of special to me, and I have a necklace of a swallow that I wear almost constantly. This prayer flag is perfection. It’s not only the swallow (stamped? from a hand carved stamp, it looks like?) but also hand-printed fabrics. I can’t get over how perfect and beautiful it is.
Thank you so very much. I am truly grateful to share the world with you.

I do plan to create a thread but am a bit behind in it, but it is a mixed media on canvas

@Magpie, I’m so glad you like it! Trying to embroider the dates on your merit badge and not mess it up was truly a test of nerves, LOL
Also, it made me chuckle that @Edel and I were apparently in each other’s minds.

I love the little bunny floss holders and the little cork man badge! Also the little bird hoop had wonderful dimension! And that grattitude prayer flag is gorgeous!
I know there are others I have left out since my last comment but I have loved it all, just so much to go through at once. Which is a great problem to have!

They bunny floss bobbins are made from shrinky dinks! I did quite a few test runs to get the right bunny style and size.

Oh, gosh, I received a surprise envelope from @jemimah today!
My little birdie bookmark is coming to work with me - I’ve always got my nose in a book on breaks, so this is perfect! And check out that pretty kitty on the card…
Thank you so much!

Yay! I think that prayer flag was meant to be yours @Cyn-energy 
AND!! the gorgeous bubble handprinted fabric it is made of, is a precious piece that the wonderful and talented @Edel made for me!! So it is a multi-lettuce piece, even a salad you might say.
(I carved the swallow stamp for that same fabric print swap, and I still have the stamp, so message me if you want some more swallow print stuff sometime.)

From @Trillian
A big project bag, a small coin purse, some stickers and some really nice floral fabric!
Both are fully lined but the project bag is lined with the cutest fabric.
And a surprise from @jemimah!!
It’s a bookmark, but I’m thinking of framing it and putting it on the craft wall. I am forever losing bookmarks and I would hate to lose this one.

great minds @wittychild
@jemimah That prayer flag is beautiful, I am still waiting for the perfect project for the fabric you sent me. I love that swallow print too. You have made me inspired to go and carve some more stamps.
This gallery makes me so happy! Despite having to go and give a lecture on fluid mechanics now while the rain is pouring down outside.

Hello, I totally forgot to post here with everything I’ve had going on. I did post over on mewe thought. I got this lovely snail from @Cyn-energy. I have to say I’m totally in love with him. I think I shall call him Sidney.

The project bag made by @Trillian looks like a soft watercolor floral! And that teeny bag is just too cute…
Sidney the Snail made by @Cyn-energy is clever…I really like the mix of fabric…
All of @jemimah’s work is just wonderful and personal…loving the bookmarks, prints, and prayer flags

All of the zippered bags and pouches…and bookmarks…
Lots of love for the art by @jemimah too. What a talented artist you are; I keep going back and admiring all of the pieces you’ve created. Just wonderful!!!
The bunny needlebook and bobbins, oh my, are just darling. Who wouldn’t love the cork guy badge and that wee cross stitch ATC? So nicely done! The bird hoop is beautiful and the embroidered felt branch extended beyond the hoop is a nice touch. I’m going to have to remember that. I’d love to also add a zillion heart eyes for each of the art rugs and flags. People’s abilities to create such intricate designs in fabric and lino (or whatever stamps are made from!) just blows my mind.
What a happy gallery this is!

In light of my gorgeous new addition I decided to put my prayer flags up in a new, more prominent location behind my office desk. This group will probably recognise at least a few of these!!

Thank you!! Once I did the paper pieced hummingbird I thought “gee, how hard could it be, let me do this snail!” (Narrator: the snail was no less challenging 
)
