Week 20: Beautiful Mending, Scribbly Quilting, and Birds on Branches
Plus - 20% off elephants, horses, llamas, penguins and a bunch of noisy farm animals
The heart and soul of Shiny Happy World is in the archives. There are hundreds of free patterns and tutorials and it’s easy to be overwhelmed by all the information. Every Friday I share just a manageable sliver - a peek at what was happening during the same week of every year since the start of Shiny Happy World. This is Week 20.
If you’d rather not receive these Friday emails you can turn them off and still receive the regular Monday news.
Scroll down to where it says Notifications.
Click off the button for Oldies but Goodies.
Easy peasy!
This is a free post, with links to many free tutorials and patterns. If you know someone who’d like to read it, please share! 🥰
The archives are almost all free - but sometimes I released a new pattern in the shop during that week in history. All those patterns are on sale this week!
Shiny Happy World has been around for a LOT of years now. That’s a lot of photos - possibly too many for your email provider to handle. If they chop off the end of the post, look for a link at the bottom where it will say something like “View Entire Message.” Depending on your email provider, it might just be a cryptic set of three dots. Click there to see the rest. 🙂

I LOVE mending with visible patches. Sometimes I sew one on just for fun - even if there's nothing to mend. 🥰
2012
I like to use this to outline patch pockets.
2013
One pattern – four different animals. Make that dollar holler!

She’s ready to decorate for a party! (And yes - it was very fun to make that garland out of tiny strips of scrap felt!)

My daughter adapted the Franklin the Fat Cat pattern to make a Totoro – and you can too! I share the pieces and instructions in this post.

One post with links to ALL my tutorials for three different applique techniques - needle turn, freezer paper, and fusible adhesive.

Lots of farm animals making lots of noise. 😂

This has been my favorite way to do outline stitching for quite a few years now. I just love how it looks!

The pattern also includes a horn to make it a unicorn!

Such a sweet face!
2021
Emperor penguins are just the coolest!
2022
I add catchlights to all my eyes now, and I love how it really brings them to life! (I use the fabric paint method – and the post includes a link to my favorite brand.)
2023
More bird fabrics! And coordinates to go with them! I also did that same bird print with gray and taupe birds on a deep blue background.
Have a terrific weekend!
Best,
Wendi
