I am so absolutely delighted that you are pleased with your patches!! I had so much fun making them, even if life got a bit hard and distracting there for a while.
And now, look at the gorgeous pieces @endymion made for me!!
Purple and green are my two favorite colors, and we’re our wedding colors, as well. I love the textures and directionality of this one; the patchwork pieces add great dimension.
Next, look at the adorable crocheted hydrangea flower! It’s one of my favorite flowers, and it reminds me of my time in Japan. He stitches are all so tiny and perfect!
And finally, a brilliant patch representing the Japanese Tanabata (Star) Festival, which includes tying wish tags to special tree branches, and celebrates two “stars” as lovers who meet in the sky only once a year. I love how she actually included individual sparkly tags hanging from the stitched branches. The whole thing has so much movement, and she used Star backing fabric and quilted the patterns! That is so clever I must remember it and do it someday myself.
I am absolutely in love with everything I received, including the lovely letter I forgot to photograph (oops, I’m at work on break right now…). Thank you so very much for your thoughtfulness and creativity and excellent choices inspired by my list! And thank you to @craftADDchick for hosting this awesome swap!
