I know what you mean @Lilian I thought that too at first. I hate wall hangings  :devil: but will no doubt find a way to showcase a lovely present.
I'm in.
Hopefully I won't be given @Efemera as I have loads ( for me ) pinks and purples and could rival Doughtys for batiks ( not stash, bought for a project but will be used for this too ) Also I do traditional patterns :D
I am in a phase of liking yellows,oranges,pinks and aquas.
No sleeve and no applique please.
Do join in @Lilian we need to revive wider interest in TDS

I'm not sure about this one, what purpose will a mini block have?

It will look beautiful in your home and remind you that someone somewhere cares enough for you to make YOU something special!!!!!

You can use it as a cup coaster. I have one I made myself which I use for this purpose.

I'll not join in this one, as I'm getting a bit busy with wedding stuff and may not have the time.

I'd love to try it but if my swappee wanted pictorial with applique and a hanging sleeve I'd clean pass out!

Absolutely none... but it will look pretty. You could use it under your sewing machine, overlocker or coverstitch.

Sorry Girls, I have been elsewhere in my head.
There are SIX of you...

If you want to go ahead, let me know and I'll get your partners out to you asap.

I was considering entering but my heart isnt right at the moment.
