Wondering where I've been?

So here's just a little taste of what I've been up to in the last 3 months.  High School Drama Club musical, Girl Scout cookies, stripping wallpaper, birthdays, snow, work, and the list goes on and on. I did do a little sewing and embroidery along with some hand quilting in my "spare" time. The sewing / embroidering / quilting Keychains for our amazing cast, stage crew and directors A bag to carry things back and forth from rehearsal Finally getting to slowly hand quilt my Labyrinth quilt. Hopefully it will be done by summer Zelda quilt was completed prior to rehearsals beginning Drama Club (this is all new to me so it was a learning experience!) Going to see some of the other local high school productions for inspiration Getting panels primed and ready for our amazing artist to work her magic A preposterous hat for our step-sisters Set building and painting Pretty proud of this tree Costume alterations and embellishments with Mrs. B And just like that it's over C

Silence In The Library

I am so excited to have my Silence In The Library quilt top assembled!!!  The original quilt design by Jeanie Payment along with almost all of the blocks are available over at FandomInStitches.com. 8 of the blocks are my own design. I will post links to those for you in the block descriptions. All of my Doctor Who patterns can be found here . The only adjustment I made to Jeanie's original design is the crack in the wall above the TARDIS. More information on that block can be found here . So here's a little tour of the quilt. Starting at the top left. 1st Row Raven sitting on a book titled "Face The Raven" representing Clara. 4 books titled "Impossible Astronaut", "Voyage of the Damned", "Mummy on the Orient Express" and "The Lodg er" 2nd Row Stacked books titled "The Unicorn And The Wasp", "Silence" and "101 Ways To Make A Souffle". The Souffle title is another reference to Clara aka souffle girl.

Just wait until you see it in the finished quilt!!!  As I was assembling my Silence In The Library quilt I felt like it needed just a little something else to finish it off. My brilliant daughter said what about a crack in the wall. PERFECT!!! So I present to you your very own crack in the wall. Pattern Block size: 12" x 12" Difficulty: 2 This pattern is free for personal and non-profit use only. Not to be used for manufacture or distribution.

It's getting spooky!

Finished up this wall hanging over the weekend. I wasn't really sure what the end product was going to be when I started but super happy with how this turned out! Each block before border was trimmed to 5" (4.5" finished). Orange and black borders were cut at 1.5". Outside pumpkin border was cut at 3" and I add the scrappy binding but sewing together 2.5" pieces together. A few close up pics of some of the embroidery I didn't end up using this one. She will go into another project. Maybe a pillow.
