We could collect instructions/patterns for little stuff or whatever, and may TSP provide us with an Adventkalender next year?

Those all sound lovely. I think it would be nice to have a go at a smaller project together every now and then.
This kind of thing.
I think seeing everyone's takes on a theme would be fun.

Mini quilts, different styles, modern, funky, country, primitive. Liberated( no pattern)
Different techniques, paper pieced, foundation pieced, crazy patchwork.
Appliqué ...machined, raw edge, needle turned.
Just a few suggestions.

Yes, small projects with different techniques. I don't think there has been much crazy patchwork or stained glass stuff on here.

I did, thank you,
@Iminei
.
I'm pretty sure I posted in the BOM thread that I'd received it. Funnily enough I was only looking at it this morning and wondering if it will fit in a pretty little frame I have up on one of the shelves in my sewing room.

Small things and techniques would be very good as is ways of using up small scraps would be quite fun.
Mug rug swaps have been good, the ones
@wrenkins
made the other year are getting used as rugs and carpets in little ones doll houses, they’re perfect for that.
Really hope I manage more next year.

I’d love to see more about the techniques- “How-to” posts on things like using a rolling cutter, paper piecing, matching up the pieces of your blocks, etc.

@Iminei
where's the list of what we're doing this year please?
Are we still making Linus quilts? If so, is it still animals?
