She cites the pattern tissue [...]

Before I get down to biznatch, an announcement:
I had wondered why our previous demand for punchinella petered out. Seems that the listing disappeared from our ArtFire shop. No idea how that happened. Anyway, punchinella (or sequin waste, as it’s sometimes known) is again available!

Lookee here! A layout that I could assign multiple superlatives to… but I’ll let you make up your own.
I LOOOOVE this layout! Glenda Tkalac made this beauty using our Geekery kit.

I can’t believe I forgot to post this project by Susan Lui using the Gams and Garters / Ball and Chainkits from January.
