Week 3: Make a DIY Cutting Table and Learn to Finish Your QAYG Quilts
Plus - 20% Off Monkeys, Rhinos, Badgers, Elephants, and Raccoons
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 3.
If you’d rather not receive these Friday emails you can turn them off and still receive the regular Monday news.

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. Those patterns are all 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. 🙂

Loved seeing your DIY cutting table! My husband made me one very similar to yours using an 8 cubby hole storage unit from Ikea. I don't have near the amount of fabric you have, so mine is smaller, but oh-so-nice to have for keeping all my fabric in instead of in boxes in a closet. It is VERY handy! I also have a 4 cubby hole Ikea storage unit that my husband hung on the wall near my sewing machine for some of my smaller fabric pieces and doo-dads. Thanks for all the information here today.
Thank you so much. This week's mail is packed with useful information
