@thanate what a fun scrappy package. If you have time I would love to see the items in more detail…a skirt wrap thiny is intriguing.
And a biscuit chicken! Love it! :rofl:

Yes, I need to get more/better pictures-- I also realized after posting that I didn’t get the side of the card that has a cool scrappy collage on it, either. (my life has been in extra chaos mode recently which makes everything harder… :face_with_spiral_eyes:)

I love how everyone is interpreting this swap differently. I said I have tiny scraps. I will make a tiny thing. @marionberries said lets chop up my wife’s jeans, and @Myrthena said let’s make a WHOLE PIECE OF CLOTHING, which I really love. It is gorgeous.

@thanate that chicken is delightful. It is giving me all the nostalgia. I wanted to make the chicken pattern I used because it reminded me of my grandma’s antique glass chicken candy dish. It looked something like this.

I just opened up the most amazing package from @Kwality570!! :heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

She made me a notebook cover, small bowls for my snipped threads when weaving, a coaster, and a project bag!! I’m feeling super spoiled!




I already stuck my current blanket in the project bag :joy:

Everything is so nice and just love all of the scrappy goodness! :heart_eyes: Thank you so much Leann!!

Oh my goodness, @Kwality570 I love everything you made. You have a real eye for combining seemingly unrelated color schemes in a fantastic way. Love, love, love your work.

I received an amazing package from @photojenn!

I absolutely love this bunting!!!

And this pillow cover perfectly matches my navy and orange living room.

Action shots coming on a day where I’m not so exhausted.

Thank you Jenn for the great swap package!

It’s a cotton clothesline rope wrapped with fabric strips and then zig zagged together. It’s super easy, but the wrapping does take a lot longer than you’d imagine.
Here’s a tutorial I found online:

Nice idea, i just fear my sewing machine wouldn’t be able to do that :slight_smile:

There are also versions where you crochet around the ropes, if that would work better for you.

(love the baskets!)

Oh Yes! I’ve tried that before. It was difficult to keep the tension strong enough to make a nice basket, but I’m sure that was user error. I actually really liked the look of the crochet ones better, however. I totally forgot about that!

I’ve been in a crafty slump this week and my new bowls inspired me to get to the loom so I could try them out. Here’s an action shot of one of them, it’s perfect! It doesn’t bang around or make any noise while I’m weaving and I don’t end up with thread ends everywhere!
