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.

2023 Goals

Here are my sewing / quilting goals to start 2023.  My main focus is to do things that make me happy. This year I am beyond excited for Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary.  So top of my list is to make my Silence In The Library Doctor Who quilt. For this pattern and so many more see  http://www.fandominstitches.com/2011/05/doctor-who.html.  I'm still working out some of the blocks that will go in the library. I have so many ideas of things I want to use to represent some of my favorite doctors, companions and episodes!  My goal is to have it completed before the 60th Anniversary episodes air in November.

There are more blocks I have in mind that I want to design as well. Including The Owl House, more My Hero Academia and Bad Batch. Maybe add in patterns for Black Clover and Hunter x Hunter. And those are just the very tip of the iceberg!

Here are a few other goals I would like to accomplish in 2023:

  • Silence In the Library Doctor Who 60th Anniversary quilt
  • Doctor Who Doctor / Companion blocks by Jeannie Payment. So many more I want to make! (http://www.fandominstitches.com/2011/05/doctor-who.html)
  • Better fabric storage solutions
  • Butterfly charm blocks (15 so far), what shall I do with them  COMPLETE
  • Labyrinth quilt WIP
  • Doctor Who quilt WIP
  • Random test blocks -- What to do with them
  • 10 untested patterns left over from 2022 (9 to go). If you are interested in testing any of these blocks let me know and I would be happy to send you a link to the pattern. If you are a Fandominstitches.com tester already most of these patterns are on the test spreadsheet.
Here are a few of the blocks I have already designed and completed for my Silence In The Library quilt. All of these patterns can be found on my Doctor Who pattern page. 














Only 14 more blocks to go!

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!
