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

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. Finished block size: 9" Difficulty: 3 (because the eyes are so tiny) Click here for the pattern This pattern is free for personal and non-profit use only.

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!!!
