Yes! The noodle head tute. It was good but I still had a few struggles. It’s me, not the tute lol. I need more practice! But it came out ok in the end.

I received my last package from @Magpie! She crammed in so many beautiful bits! The skinny rectangles along the bottom row are actually Charm Squares, folded in half. I’m thinking I might make something specifically with the lovely batiks I received in this swap. And I know I’m going to make my MIL a new pencil case for Christmas, with some too. (Definitely going to have to include the pencil fabric square in that one.) Thank you Magpie!

And I believe with me receiving that last envelope, this swap is complete! Thank you all so very, very much, for an incredibly fun, easy-going, stress-free swap. This one really is such a joy, and I’m sure I’ll do another round next year. :heart:

Oh, and I bumped into this pattern on Pinterest, and thought some of you might like it for possible holiday decorating. It’s a scrappy Christmas present block, but could easily be adapted to any sort of gift.

Did you see @steiconi’s beautiful cactus wall hanging with the patchy scrappy back ground? Excellent!

I have looked at it many times…the background is so lovely and the cactus is a simple embellishment for it…wonderful work!

@photojenn, did you still want some more squares? I have a stack on my desk for you, from things I’ve cut since the swap, so all different from what you already received. I could put them in an envelope for you today if you still want some.

Yes please! I’ll admit I haven’t found time to start yet so I’m still collecting :slight_smile:

@sloth003 also hooked me up! So my stacks are growing!

Was someone looking for more of this fabric? If so, I saw it as part of a fat quarter bundle at Walmart.

I used the piece sent to me to make my mug rug! It is so darn cute!

It was me. But I’d be unlikely to find it in Canadian Walmart. There are often many things unavailable up here

While I was cleaning/packing, I found these two cards from @magpie filled with scrappy squares! I know one was for this swap and the other was just because she is awesome!

I didn’t see a pic here, so I thought I would share…I am holding out packing my squares as I still wistfully would love to make a tote before I have to move…

That figure skater print is awesome.

It sure is! So are the polar bears!

Figure skaters rescued from a very odd tiered kid skirt, bears from @edel!
Sew a tote, it’ll be helpful for packing stuff up in!

I am always tempted to pick out focal pieces like these and make something else…I like your baskets that have a strip of scrappy blocks in plain canvas or linen…that way, theses beauties don’t get too lost!

I got a slightly different polar bear.


That’s going to part of a finish tomorrow I have to go to w*rk today.

Are you making a polaroid quilt?! It’s one of my goals since I saw one a few weeks ago. Along with a million other quilting goals.
