It’s super nice and heavy, and it is quite, and it sews through anything! It’s one of the best things ever, and I wouldn’t have gotten it if I didn’t work for the auction house doing estate sales.

Final Fantasy Quilt: 4th Block Is Done!

Here it is! I’m just so damn excited! I’m going to be posting pictures of the four blocks together later. I just have to go and finish cleaning my kitchen first. Fried chicken and then roast beef sandwiches… It’s a little bit of a mess. Tacos tonight… so maybe I should wait until tomorrow to clean it??? 🙂

Final Fantasy Quilt: Still Piecing The Final Block

I ended up falling asleep around midnight, so I did not finish it last night, but I will finish it today! I ended up going with the gold eyes and hands. I love it! The background makes it look like it is snowing! What do you guys think?

Final Fantasy Quilt: Final Block

I’ve started cutting and laying out the fabric for the final block. I decided to go with a drak red tonal for the cloak, and then blue for the hat. I just cannot decide on green or gold for the eyes. What do you think?

Question For Everyone…

So, as you know I did a quilt giveaway for hitting 100,000 views. Which, is totally awesome! Well, the person who was selected at random, has not responded! How long should I hold out for them? Should a redraw at the end of the week? What should I do? I need advice on this one!

Final Fantasy Quilt: Three Down, One To Go

After a long day of sewing, and possibly a nap, I have finished the third black mage. this time he is wearing a gold robe and a pink hat. I think it cntrasts nicely with the other two blocks I have done. Now I’m already picking out fabric for last block of this quilt. I’m thinking something red!
