Along the Way, the Whole UI Changed

The site got a complete overhaul this week, which I hinted at in my last post. The main goal was to improve the experience for tablet users while keeping everything cohesive with the desktop version. I am pretty happy with how it is shaping up. Both portrait and landscape modes on tablets are fully functional now, and overall, the whole experience feels sleeker and much easier to navigate.

It is also time for my absolute favorite swap of the year, the Tiny Quilt Swaps White Elephant Swap (#tqswes2026). I am so proud to be a sponsor this year in addition to participating. I will be giving away a quilt kit for the Dots and Dots and Dots quilt, as well as one-year pro memberships. Signups are open right now, so be sure to follow cleverquilts and tinyquiltswaps on Instagram. This is hands down the best swap because you get to make whatever type of mini quilt you want. There are already over 120 participants from all around the world. Even if you decide not to join in, it is well worth following along just to see what everyone is making.
