There and Back Again

A little something I've been wanting to make for myself. I read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings when I was in middle school and fell in love with them. This design is based off of the 1937 First Edition dust jacket designed by Tolkien. Although I believe the version with the red sun is actually a redesign for the 50th anniversary.

I've got some time to sew while I await more background fabric to complete the rest of the Julie and the Phantoms blocks I figured I'd squeeze this beauty in. 

The design is by Gretchen Kohlhaas and the pattern can be found at fandominstitches.com along with loads of other Hobbit and LOTR designs.



Finished block with 1/2" black and 1" burgundy border.
Loving how this is turning out!!!

Adventures In Raw Edge Applique

So I tried something new, raw edge applique. In hindsight I should have started with a more simple pattern. But I loved this pattern and knew my daughter would absolutely love it. Here is a link to the first video in the series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iigK0KV3-w I loved learning this technique and will incorporate it in some projects in the future. Lisa is amazing at explaining different ways to implement this technique. I highly recommend checking out her channel!
