Quilt The Snowflake Table Runner

 

I haven’t touched this in a while, but I figured I should finish it even with all of my impending quilts! I got to work super early this morning, and just sat down and pressed the top on. (I’m using a double sided fusible table mat blank.) Now I’m going to quilt it. I was thinking of quilting it once with a blue variegated and then over that with a tighter purple stipple. We’ll see though, I might think the blue is enough. Wish me luck!

Busy Day! I finished A Quilt, And Started Another One

I finished it! 3 More Quilts to go by Christmas! I started cutting the fabric for a throw size, so hopefully that will be done by Thursday, and then that leaves me 3 days for a quilt top, and a week for another queen size. I’m going to be running on empty and may not even set foot in my sewing room after the holidays for a bit. Wish me luck!

Quilting The Triforce – I Love Variegated Thread

I basted and started quilting the Triforce quilt last night. I was going to do the background first, and then the bird and Triforce afterwards, but I was too tired, so I just did the bird and Triforce. I took about one third the time of doing the background, so I end up getting to bed around 3:30am. I have to work at 9:45, so I might be a little tired today, but it is totally worth it! I’ll finish quilting the background tonight, and if I’m luck I can bind it as well, then wash and mail it out on Friday.

Question for my quliter friends: Do you wash your quilts before you give them away?

First Pokeball Quilt Block Is Done… Now Back To Zelda

One black down, and 3 to go. I really like the way this turned out. Next will be the great ball. Well, it might take me a while to finish. I have on the agenda for the weeks leading up to Christmas…

1) Quilt a top I already made

2) Throw size Zelda Quilt

3) Queen Size Tetris Quilt

4) Full size Zelda quilt top

So, there you have it! My list of things to do in three weeks! I know I can, I’ll just have to not be social until after the holidays!

2 New Etsy Listing For Mario Fans

As on this morning I have added Twin and Full Size Mario 8 bit quilts to my Etsy Shop. Here you can order the Twin Size, and here is the Full Size. I still have to work up a sample for the queen size which will include 9 blocks instead of 6, but that might have to wait until after the holidays. I think that one will include a bob-omb, boo, and I think a question block. We’ll see. I might have to base it on what colors I have readily available in my fabric stash. (I went a little crazy with the fabric shopping recently, but I should be set for quite a while…. I hope.)

I’m In The Throws Of Pokeballs

I posted the teaser earlier, and here it is. I still have to piece it together because I had to go to work this morning, but now that I am home, I’m going to put on some Jefferson Starship and rock out with my vintage singer. Hopefully I’ll have it pieced later tonight and I’ll post a picture of the finished block. Now to draw up designs for an Ultraball, Greatball, and Masterball. Wish me luck!

Tetris Quilt And Pattern On Etsy

I don’t know why I didn’t put this up sooner, since it has been completed for quite a while, but here is the listing for my Tetris Quilt, as well as my Tetris Quilt Pattern. I’ve been commissioned to make a queen size one for Christmas, so as soon as I do that, I’ll have a pattern for that as well! I hope everyone enjoys these!
