New sewing project and other stitchy updates and a finish!

I really wanted a cute project bag to take on vacation. My mom gave me the main fabric years ago. It was leftover from a pillow blanket she made many years ago. I had the perfect fabric to go with it and off I went.  I made the large bag, a small zipper pouch, thread catcher, project mat and wrist keychain (not pictured).  Tangled progress. This is at  72.16% complete. That's 197,210 stitches down 76,070 stitches to go And I have a finish!  My travel project is complete! My Stained Glass Purple Rose is complete. It has been on several adventures but finally it's done.  This is 27,783 stitches. Started 13 Jun 2025 and finished 13 July 2026.

Bad Batch - Omega

We aren't done with The Bad Batch yet!!! Thanks to Susie for testing Omega.  Your fabric choices are amazing and really bring her to life.

Labyrinth - Sarah

Sarah is a girl after my own heart and Labyrinth is one of my all time favorite movies! So when I found the Labyrinth quilt patterns on FandomInStitches I knew I needed it in my life!!!! Sadly the Sarah pattern seemed to be missing, so I designed my own.  Love how she turned out and so happy I had perfect fabric for her vest. There are a few other blocks from the original quilt-a-long that are missing that I may try to recreate as well.  But before I do that I need to keep working on my 2022 goal of completing and testing the designs I already have created.

My Boy Tucker

My sweet boy passed away in November 2018. We couldn't have asked for a better companion and protector for our daughter. We all miss him every day. This year for my husband's birthday I designed and created this wall hanging of Tucker.  He loves it and I hope you do too. Originally I hadn't intended to share the pattern but I have had inquiries so here it is. I would love to see pictures of Tuck in your home :)  Block size: 24 x 24 Difficulty: 2 Click here for the pattern This pattern is free for personal and non-profit use only.

Owl House baby steps

Progress has been made this weekend!! Look at Miss Pepper back there, such a good girl! So to achieve this layout I cut the sashing strips 1 1/2".  For the Title block I needed to add to either end to make up for the additional inch in between the blocks above and below it.  Also for Owlbert and Ghost I cut them each down to 5 1/2" (including seam allowance).  I actually like them better without all the extra fabric around them. Now to figure out the backing. To piece or not to piece that is the question!

Temporary Radio Silence

Sadly other responsibilities are taking over my me time.  It's all good because I love my Girl Scouts!! For us it's cookie season until mid March.  While I have been able to sneak in some sewing time on Saturday and Sunday mornings that's about it.  Between working full time, being troop leader and managing cookies I'm exhausted.  So bear with me, I have great things planned......for after cookie season. Wish us luck!! This is what 822 cases of Girl Scout cookies looks like!!! Oh My Goodness!!!
