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.

The BOM kept me going this year - gave me something to look forward to each month!  :) But I realise it is a lot of work for @Iminei so will go with the flow. Just wanted you to know it was appreciated!

I did, thank you, @Iminei . <3 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. :vintage:

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.
You can't scare me. I taught high school for 32 years.

@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?

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I hope so @Acorn my top is complete and waiting to be sandwiched.
Life's too short for ironing.
