It’s a Me: Mario!

So I’ve decided that I did not want to start my next art quilt, and I just wanted to do a funa nd quick project that would only take a day or two, and this is it! I’m doing a quilt with 8 bit character’s from Mario Bros. Haha! I’m so excited that I am getting my nerd on. Do not worry though, by Monday I will have started my next art quilt! Enjoy this teaser for now!

My Zelda Quilt: Out Of The Dryer

It’s done! It’s done! It is officially done and I love it! I cannot wait until I snuggle up under this thing tonight! I’m so excited to cuddle under this and perhaps watch some Masterpiece Theater. It has a flannel backing, and then a 100% cotton batting. It’s going to be so warm1 I’m so excited!

Started Pcking Fabric For My Next Project

I have officially finished my Zelda Quilt, and now I am on to my next project. I’m sure exactly what I am doing, but I already found the fabric I want to use! I’ve got browns and tans, and then a pop of blue of purple! I’m really excited. In fact, I am working on designing it right now. I did just finish the Zelda quilt, and I will post pictures as soon as it is out of the washer!

My Zelda Quilt: I Finished Quilting The Background

After a few setbacks from being sick, I have managed to finish the background quilting. I decided to go with purple thread, and to do a medium stipple. I’m still thinking about adding some brown stippling on top of it, just to add some texture and dimension, but I might just call it a day at purple! I’ve still got to do the stitching for the bird and I’m going to use a turquoise thread for that! Hopefully I’ll finish that tonight, but for now I’m off to go and shovel some snow! Wish me luck!
