Twin Size Zelda Quilt Pattern Is In The Shop

It has been listed on Etsy! I just finished the pattern or a twin size Zelda quilt!

Some E Cards To Get You By!

I’ve whipped up a few of these to make everyone’s transition to into Monday a little bit easier!

I’ve been working on this all weekend! Okay, maybe like for an hour or two yesterday, and then 4 hours today. I also made out some Christmas cards, and finished up the pattern to sell it once I am done with the quilt itself. I’ve also been slaving over Christmas cards. All 6 of them. Haha! No, seriously I’ve done over 25 of them, and then I have to Christmas ones to send out to my previous clients on Etsy and send them a coupon along with their holiday card. However, I did finish the top of this quilt, and later tonight I will put on the border. I’m not quite sure what kind of border I’ll put on, but I have some ideas!

Follow the jump for more!

Started The Blocks

I started the blocks for the commission, and I’m digging it! I have 35 more to go, and all of the sashing. Wish me luck, maybe once this headache passes, I’ll be able to get down to work hardcore!

My Latest Commission

I recently got a commission where a woman dropped off 7 yards of fabric, and said she wanted a queen size quilt. I thought, that it would be cutting it close, and sure enough it is. It will be 85 by 90 inches, and barely making the queen cut off. I was up late last night working on a design, and I got one I like! I’ll post the progress that I’ve made later today, but here are the fabrics she got me.

Breakfast of Champions

I woke up late, which is no surprise considering I was up until 5am working on a pattern for a commission. Well, as soon as I woke up, I needed to run some errands. I didn’t have time to eat breakfast, so right now I’m eating a croissant and some hummus I bought at the grocery store. So as I sit here in the parking lot, I can only assume that this is indeed the breakfast of champions!

Amazing Post Card Art

My cousin Valarie teaches art to high school students, and one of the projects she had them do was postcard art. You just relay a message via a post card. I think it is an amazing idea, and here is her Tumblr for it! I think everyone should be checking it out!

How A Sewing Machine Works

I just wanted to share this. I think a lot of people will find it interesting.

Do I Smell A Pattern Sale…

I think I do! Do you hear that readers… There is a sale on patterns right now! I’m giving all of my readers a 2 dollar off coupon for my Etsy patterns. The code is ‘patternsale1’. It’s two dollars off per order, so if you do want more than one pattern, you do need to check out multiple times. Sorry about the inconvenience, but I don’t know how to do it a different way. So for the rest of today and tomorrow, all patterns are 2 dollars off! I hope everyone enjoys!
