Rainbow TARDIS - Road Trip Project

What do you do on a long road trip when you're a passenger?  I decided to take up cross stitching which I haven't done in a very, very long time.  I tried taking a photo each day of my progress but I did miss one day during our travels.  This took me a total of 41 days to complete.  Now I just need to decide what I'm going to do with it! Pattern is by Alice Alan and purchased at AICrossStitch on Etsy. 14 count Aida cloth using DMC floss 21,861 stitches

Bundle of Joy

Babies are always such a blessing.  I made this for my cousin's first baby, due in October. (ok, technically she is my 1st cousin 1x removed, yeah I'm a genealogy nerd too) She LOVES Beauty and the Beast so I just had to incorporate that into the quilt somewhere even though she is having a boy.  I am so thrilled with how this came out and I can't wait to give it to her this weekend!!

Most of the patterns came from FandomInStitches.com with the exception of the teddy bear and the pig (aka Charlotte's web).  The bear pattern I made up and will get it posted here at some point when I fix all of the errors in the pattern.  The pig pattern is from Quilting in Amsterday. I just hand stitched a spider and web in the corner.

I still need LOTS of practice with free motion quilting but I had so much fun. 

Here are some close ups of the blocks. The lighting wasn't great. Hopefully I will get some better pics with the mommy-to-be this weekend.












Here are some of the blocks pre-assembly. These are much clearer photos.

Live ~ Love ~ Create ~ Sew

An original design I created for my sister's new sewing space. I'm happy to share it with you all for your personal use. Please so not sell my patterns or creations made with the patterns without permission. Because the words are individually pieced you can use them on their own or change the layout anyway you want it.  For my layout I added a 5" x 8" piece of background to the left and right of Live and Love. For Create I added a 5" x 2.5" piece to each end.  I have some photos below that I took as I was laying everything out and deciding on which I liked best.  This can easily be done with scraps from your scrap bin! Enjoy and Happy Sewing! Patterns: Live   -  Difficulty Level 2 Love   -  Difficulty Level 3 Create   -  Difficulty Level 3 Sewing Machine   -  Difficulty Level 1 Also available is the Geometric Sewing Machine pattern This pattern is free for personal and non-profit use only.
