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
My daughter loves Harry Potter among other things.(she is a Ravenclaw while I'm 100% Hufflepuff). I kept seeing the Project of Doom bookshelf quilt on FandomInStitches.com. So in September 2019 I started with some simple blocks, the crystal ball and books. I was hooked!!!
And here is the finished quilt top in all of it's humungous glory!! So many things I love about this!! Working with H to decide which blocks to include, what fabrics, block placement. I learned A LOT along the way!!! The first 2 'pieces' I designed on my own are in this quilt top. An extension to Faulk's tail and the books that Hagrid's umbrella is sitting on. They were pretty much done on the fly and I don't have them in an official pattern so we're going to leave them as one of a kind blocks.
I worked on the quilt top through March 2020. Sadly that is as far as I've gotten thanks to Covid-19 :(. I am hoping to get the rest of what I need so I can finish it up this summer yet. It really grew and grew and grew and ended up much larger than I expected. But I love it and so does H!!
Here are a few of my favorite blocks. I love the pattern on the tea cup!!
I took some breaks in between but I'll save those for another post. To check out these amazing patterns and so many more check out FandomInStitches.com
