Look at this! From my lovely friend @AIMR for my frog price theme. What adorable fabric and princely little crown atop his head. And her edges are the best around.
Thank you!
It’s fabulous! I love the bright color of the frog and that lily pad background fabric is great! I like how she stitched the “Kiss a Frog” so that it overlaps the border, too. The X border stitching is so nice and neat!

I had so much fun making that…what a fun theme! The lily patch fabric was actually two pieces I received in the hexie swap at the dead place. I had to stitch it down to mush them together.
Glad you like it.
My turn…here is my awesome patch from my our round robin partner, @craftADDchick…she went with my sea theme and…well, she also turned it a bit dark…lol…I love it! Can you believe it is her first patch?..NO!
LOL! It’s definitely not my first patch, just the first one I’ve made for you @AIMR!
I made the tentacles by stamping the fabric using a stamp I had carved. Then, I outlined them in backstitch. For the suckers, I stitched on seed beads, which took the longest. I should have used French knots! For the ship, I used satin stitch, and for the sails, I did 2 methods for satin stitch- the left 2 sails were made by carrying the floss across the back, and the right 2 sails were made by stitching just to the side of where the previous stitch ended. I liked the second method much better! For the waves, I used 3 different colors of floss (I think) and did something called the feather stitch, which I’ve never done before.
I’m glad you like it! I was a little worried that it would be too far off theme

You are special! I can’t believe I had never made a patch for you in any of the other patch swaps (about 12, I think) I’ve done!

Well, I told you I got all confused in this swap with the round robin thing and thought I made the patch for you…etc. I know I looked at your science patches many times on Pinterest in the past, so I got even more confused…ugh…I am getting stay at home brain!!! lol
Notice a theme here? I found a notecard covered in the best unicorn cat (unicat? Caticorn?) fabric, my badge, plus a drawing from her daughter.
I had listed cupcakes, and cats, as possible themes, and I love the mashup of the two! The pink and purple are just the perfect shades to set off that combination, too.
