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.

Hoppy Easter!

 Hoppy Easter (cheesy I know!) Finished in time for Easter. Peeps have been a tradition in our family every Easter so when I found this Peeps Bunny pattern I had to make them. Added button tails and they are just so adorable!! I did add a zipper to it and made a plain white pillow to stuff inside. Since it's the perfect size for on the rocking chair now I can make other covers and switch them out seasonally. Pattern is by Jen Ofenstein of SewHooked.com and is available at https://sewhooked.com/2017/03/03/free-pattern-friday-peeps-bunnies/

Don't Blink!

I can't do a Doctor Who themed quilt and not represent one of my all time favorite episodes, Blink!!  Love the Weeping Angels! So to go with my Silence in the Library quilt I have for you the Weeping Angel bookshelf block. Enjoy and don't blink!! She does have a lot of embroidered details. You don't have to go as detailed as I did if you don't like embroidery. You could just do the hands and arms and I think that would still be awesome! Block size: 10 x 10 Difficulty: 3 Pattern UPDATE: I added a new version with DVDs instead of the book. Here is a link to the page for the updated version  Weeping Angel version 2 This pattern is free for personal and non-profit use only. Not to be used for manufacture or distribution.
