@MightyMitochondria sent me a chicken! Yes, a chicken…basket. It is the most adorable chicken basket with lots of scraps and boro stitching. She also stitched up a little pouch with an antler button (cool) and fun little scraps inside. She included some quilt squares that were in a fabric donation. They are a bit wonky, but fun and I can see a lap quilt grow out of them. I donate lap quilts whenever I can.
Thank you for the fun and lucky gifts. Now I have to decide what goes inside…

Yay!!! I am so glad you like the chicken. I have had the pattern pinned for a while now, so I was SUPER EXCITED when you put an animal on your wish list. I know you were probably talking about a stuffy, but I just went for it. Carol, it was an absolute joy to craft for you. Knowing you love scrappy things as much as I do alllowed me to go wild and follow the fabric wherever it took me. Thanks for being a fabulous partner.

You are hysterical. Thank you to everyone for your kind words. I have really struggled with swaps lately. I overthink and get wrapped up in my own anxiety. This swap snapped me out of it because I knew marionberries would like any scrappiness that I like. It was so freeing. I think this is a good lesson in letting go of my insecurity and following my instincts.
I am sooooo excited because USPS says @marionberries package is on my doorstep. I am counting down the minutes until I can leave work. What a great way to start the week.

Look at all the treasures that arrived today!
First, this lovely triangle zipper pouch. @marionberries chose the most perfect colors.
Next, the most lovely necklace and extra beads. I am going to wear the gorgeous necklace tomorrow!
Finally, look how marionberries transformed old jeans! The stitching and patchwork choices on this Japanese rice bag are fantastic. I especially like the darker outline of where there was once a pocket. She said we were on the same crafting wavelength and here is the proof! Boro stitching inspired both of us.
Thank you marionberries for being a fantastic partner! @Kwality570, thank you for welcoming me into this swap.

The necklace and fabric beads are thanks to @Abbeeroad and @Magpie 's classes. Those classes were so fun that I had to spread the goodness. The jean fabric is thanks to my DW wearing her jeans out and the scrappy bits are from a charm pack that my SIL gave me some 12 years ago. Even the zipper is from a bag of gifted sewing supplies. It all came together to make the perfect package for @MightyMitochondria !

That’s a gorgeous package @marionberries, wow!!
I’ve made good progress on my package for @mellybelly81, nearly ready to send I hope. My sewing machine is still at the repair place (waiting for a part), so I’ve had to think outside the box with all-hand-sewn ideas. It’s been fun though!

Got my box from @Myrthena! There are definitely a bunch of goodies in here:
Little pouches & a small book & a stringy skirt/wrap & some foreign candy… but my favorites are definitely the fun head wrap/necklace & the gorgeous scrappy mesh skirt! Love them.
