No fancy OP this time because I am running on E! I’m definitely not a couple of days late! This week’s person of interest is you, dear reader. Tell this fat frog lady all about your lovely selves this week. Tell me what makes you laugh and what brings you joy in this hell on earth we call home.

As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:

“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

    I love your ornament kitty-cri-screm I’m really impressed at you doing fussy cutting for your first project and keeping your stitches so even

    I totally get the strain from pinching the hexies together while you sew, not beating the ad allegations but the site i keep linking you to has “sew tites” which are magnets that are really helpful for epp. I got the variety pack with different length bars which is really helpful for sewing hexie flowers. Unfortunately they suffer from the same useful niche sewing tool tax that all the new gadgets have 😭

    Here’s a hexie flower I did recently

      you’re so kind aaa thank you!! meow-melt i put a lot of effort into getting the balloon string to align and i’m glad to hear i’m on the right track with the stitches!

      omg your hexie flower is sooo pretty, i really love the fabrics you chose!!! it’s like a hexie shaped window into a meadow, it’s gonna be the coziest blanket tbh.

      and listen it’s not your fault that site has all the goodies they literally have everything loll. i’m hoping to save up to put in an order soon, strong magnets sound so much more convenient than clips.

        Omg thank you crush

        All the fabrics I’m using for this quilt are florals and they’re just so cute. You really can’t go wrong with a bunch of colorful flowers

        I love that site so much lol, the reason I started buying stuff from them was because they have a lot of tools and also sell fabric so when I was starting epp I got the fabric and just what I needed to do some basting and sewing and over time I’ve been building a fabric stash and a good sewing toolkit without spending a ton all at once big-cool

        I really hope you can get your stuff soon! The magnets are so nice for avoiding hand cramping. If youre interested in regular machine quilting clips can also be used for that so might be worth it trying both if you can
