I sent mine today but they have to add a customs declaration now so post office lady stuck a big label over my carefully addressed label and obliterated my little note saying TSP swap so I had to ask her to write it on the bottom.

Also she was baffled by me saying  MugRug (whilst wearing a face mask), so I called it a placemat.
Willing but not always able :)

I had 2 other attempts at mine too. The 1st had wonky binding and the 2nd had bits that didn't line up. Tsk Tsk.

Mine are finished with enough wavy edges to make them interesting and quirky  :P

If you don't look closely at my edges I won't look closely at yours!!  :laughing:

I could live with wobbly edges it’s the white thread around the satin stitch that is bothering me……….  Now I don’t think I have enough fabric

I sent mine off without photographing it too.
