So impressed with that grid stitching!

The thread catcher looks like it will be handy as well as pretty to look at…love the neat way to show off scraps!

Yaaas, girl! So happy it arrived A-ok & you like it.
I love those fabrics, lol.


Bunny bags have elastics inside, here’s how they are supposed to go. I know you & Linda recognize that blue fabric :slight_smile:
I thought a teenboy might find something cheekier more acceptable, especially if you fill it with candies! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That Chex Mix carrot bag is the best and I love the way @Magpie incorporated her signature beads into that lovely notebook.

I received my wonderful swap package just in time for my (eh-hem, 69th) birthday. @magpie did scrappy proud!

All wrapped up in a cute bag. She sent along a magazine that has lots and lots of star quilt patterns–my favorite!

An, what magic did she use? Collapsible baskets? WOW!

Popped up, they are handy dandy and perfect for my yarny projects!
This one has the cutest scrappy petals.


This one, oh my, has bunches of tiny scraps all held together with tons of stitching!

Close up…and, yes, she even used some scraps I sent to her in previous mailings!

It’s lined with the coolest kitschy fabric and check out the bottom…perfectly stitched!

Of course, practical is always great, but @magpie also sent me a beautiful artsy spool. I am in awe of how anyone can stitch the back and front so neatly! The spool is magnificent!


There were mints (already stashed in my purse) to make a completely wonderful swap package perfect for me! Thanks…the scrap gods and goddesses in my house were appeased!

So pleased the package arrived for your special day, what great timing!
I miscalculated the scallops for Abbee’s thread catcher, like a lot! Enough to ring a fair sized basket so I thought why not. It hardly made a dent in the scrappy stash but it was oh so fun to play in there for a while. I really loved crafting for the both of you :slight_smile:

Those fun red bags came with Pomello in them, can you believe it? Such cool art!

Gluing magnetic business cards inside my awesome scrappy greeting cards so the patches can be cut out and put up on the fridge!

It’s literally the only way I can stand to send them away. This one’s going to my sweet cousin :slight_smile:

I love everyone’s gorgeous scrappy pieces!! I’m getting on the road right now, looking forward to admiring them all in more detail when I can have a proper look.

I received these these lovely goodies from @mellybelly81 - everything is fabulous!! She sent a wonderful 4x6 fabric art piece, a beautiful mug rug, the most darling little vintage style needle book, and some bonus pretty fabric :smiley_cat:

Here’s a close up of the mug rug - perfect scrappiness and colour choices!

And my favourite thing is this gorgeous 4x6 piece to add to my collection - so fresh and cheerful!

Thank you so much @mellybelly81, this is a lovely, happy parcel of scrappy delights!!

I love scrappy “paintings”…one piece looks very precise and formal and the other is wild and free!

Both are lovely, @mellybelly81 ! Also, very interested in the crocheted card piece…tell us more!
