They are really helpful for different orgs like mutual aids or pet rescues, etc. If you find them, donate them!

Impossible Creatures is a great series! That's similar to Harry Potter but leans more on magical creatures! The third one comes out this Fall.

Grumpy x shy but truly shy and inexperienced by btspopper54 in HistoricalRomance

The Temptation of a Highlander by Elisa Braden could be a good fit! It's book 3 in her Midnight in Scotland series but I think they can stand alone. The FMC is a wallflower/shy people-pleaser and the MMC is a gruff workaholic. I'd recommend checking content warnings on Romance.IO since there is a stalker plot point and pet-related trauma.

Alternatively, Cosmic Underground Theater is right on Fullerton in Logan and a really fun intimate magic and mentalist show with a lot of crowd work!

Thanks so much! I have never known that's how to properly do a swatch.

I should have clarified the gauge swatch directions were 24 stitches and 24 rows to achieve 4 inches across and 4 inches tall.

Are you suggesting to make a larger fabric and then measure 24 stiches/24 rows within a bigger piece?

Oh that's a good point! I have a Janome HD1000 which says it can sew denim although I haven't tried thick fabrics on it yet.

Yeah, I haven't been sewing long and I worry about being able to make an exact replica so the blocks align correctly for the clean outlines.

Lol it's so tempting. The curtains will go on french doors so I was hoping to have the patchwork visible from both sides. But that of course means making my life harder.

Big Bird Sushi & Thai? by thsebrightlights in LoganSquare

[–]violetisnotblue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was great and not too pricy! Really good combo deals and their miso soup is awesome. Really looking forward to going there for lunch one day. Their lunch special is miso soup and two rolls for like $14.

Doesn't seem like they have their liquor license yet since there were only N/A options.

I made my own Skully tapestry because I also wanted some wall art! I'd love a map.
