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
I haven’t got long to write now as I’m on my way to go on holiday . We’re going to Perth - where @mellybelly81 lives! We’re planning to have a little Aussie Lettuce meetup while I’m there

Oh give her a big friendly hello from me! We have been swapping buddies for a very long time! I have so many lovely things from her in my home…many patchwork!
I am so happy it arrived before you left, it would have been a bit silly if you had come all the way over here and I had sent it all the way over there! Haha
The needle book I did not make, it is actual vintage. It was one of the random treasures in the random boxes and bags from my grandmother’s stash/hoard/legacy and it has been sitting with your name on it since I found it. You have a thousand birds on your pintrest and its for sewing, so it was the perfect time to send it.
I am glad my design choice of zig zag quilting had the desired effect of hiding my wonky postage stamp seams!
I love making the flower art piece for you!

I love the wonky stitching the best! And what a clever idea for a needlebook! I am going to see about recreating it!
@Magpie Those baskets are just the coolest! I love the scallop pops of color against the darker background and the other scrappy one is pure magic! Did you use a pattern for the container?
@mellybelly81 That mug rug is adorable. I love that the wall hanging is in some of the same colors. The wall hanging is absolute magic. The stitching that looks like scribbly painting just elevates it even more.
Received from Linda but down for the count with covid coming on. Managed to unpack every lovely thing but now need a nap. Pls post photos my friend. I love it all.
I feel not awesome but it’s just like the flu or a bad cold. Since I’m just laying here in bed, might as well take some pics of my awesome scrappy loot. Linda sent me an “Around The World” themed package.
These African wax print coasters are so cool.
