This one's done, washed and dried, crinkle and all. I learned a lot. This was a kind of test for a few construction issues before working towards something much bigger.

We can also always use another surface-saving welcome spot for handmade ceramics. If Eva finds it unoccupied we can just start calling it a cat mat.
Very exciting, Susan! The uneven edge, your usual color sensitivity and beautiful stitching, all telling the personal story of your little oak. I'm inspired.
