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
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.
