Sewing ~ Quilting ~ Foundation Paper Piecing

Here are a few things I've been working on.  I can't show everything since some things haven't been gifted yet and Santa would be disappointed in me if I spoiled the surprise!! Log cabin block Christmas tree. No specific pattern used.  I will try to write something specific up to share with everyone. Added some buttons for a little extra bling. Snowflake ornaments made for some of my fellow Girl Scout troop leaders. Design from String Theory Fabric Art (https://stringtheoryfabricart.com/ #stringtheoryfabricart ) Grinch key fob. Design from String Theory Fabric Art (https://stringtheoryfabricart.com/ #stringtheoryfabricart ) Jack Skellington zipper pouch made for our Girl Scout Service Unit Manager as a small token of my appreciation.

I am so excited to have my Silence In The Library quilt top assembled!!!  The original quilt design by Jeanie Payment along with almost all of the blocks are available over at FandomInStitches.com. 8 of the blocks are my own design. I will post links to those for you in the block descriptions. All of my Doctor Who patterns can be found here . The only adjustment I made to Jeanie's original design is the crack in the wall above the TARDIS. More information on that block can be found here . So here's a little tour of the quilt. Starting at the top left. 1st Row Raven sitting on a book titled "Face The Raven" representing Clara. 4 books titled "Impossible Astronaut", "Voyage of the Damned", "Mummy on the Orient Express" and "The Lodg er" 2nd Row Stacked books titled "The Unicorn And The Wasp", "Silence" and "101 Ways To Make A Souffle". The Souffle title is another reference to Clara aka souffle girl. ...

It doesn't look like much now. Just wait until you see it in the finished quilt!!!  As I was assembling my Silence In The Library quilt I felt like it needed just a little something else to finish it off. My brilliant daughter said what about a crack in the wall. PERFECT!!! So I present to you your very own crack in the wall. Pattern Block size: 12" x 12" Difficulty: 2 This pattern is free for personal and non-profit use only. Not to be used for manufacture or distribution. Sale of this pattern or quilts made from this pattern is prohibited.

Finished up this wall hanging over the weekend. I wasn't really sure what the end product was going to be when I started but super happy with how this turned out! Each block before border was trimmed to 5" (4.5" finished). Orange and black borders were cut at 1.5". Outside pumpkin border was cut at 3" and I add the scrappy binding but sewing together 2.5" pieces together. A few close up pics of some of the embroidery I didn't end up using this one. She will go into another project. Maybe a pillow.

I've been in a foundation paper piecing rut lately. I can't seem to focus and feel like I need some small projects I can finish and have the satisfaction of a finished product quickly. So I've been playing a lot with my new to me embroidery machine and I'm so in love. Halloween is one of our favorite holidays so I have played with some Hocus Pocus files I purchased on Etsy and made a little mug rug. Not sure yet what I'm going to do with the "I Smell Children" one yet. I've also played with some key fobs and made a little autumn wall hanging. Stay tuned for more Halloween embroidery fun coming soon!
