Hey guys, I just wanted to check in with everyone! See how everyone is doing? I wanted to share some things! I’m working on a new quilt pattern that will be on my Patreon. I need some feedback though. I was going to do the pattern as part of the monthly pattern download, but I also wanted to make it so there is a free one available. What are your ideas on it?
Also… LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!
You heard that right! Or maybe, you read that right! Either way…
This is the project I’ll be giving away exclusively on Patreon! It’s an 11 by 14 inch canvas collaged with printed fabric and paper. The piece isn’t quite finished, but hopefully by the end of the week, I’ll have it up on Patreon with the rules for entry. I’m not sure if it will be a random drawing, or perhaps a naming contest.
As you know, I had to give up commissions with my super busy schedule, however this last one slipped in before I stopped. I’m so happy the guy was such a good sport with it taking several months to complete. I’m very happy with how it turned out, and maybe someday in the near future, I’ll commit myself to doing a couple of these a year. I truly do love making them, but it’s the time. Time is an all-to-precious commodity for me these days.
Next on the docket, is binding a couple of baby quilts. Then I will be all caught up, and I can focus on my Anthems quilt! Wish me luck!

Last week at my quilt guild, we had Denise Havlan speak about her art quilts, and it was quite inspiring! So Yesterday I decided to get started on one. It’s called “It’s Dangerous To Go Alone”. Eventually it will be the Lost Woods from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I still have to add the trees and then embroider the silhouette of young link walking into the woods alone. Hopefully it will only take a couple more days! Wish me luck!
While I’ve been quilting away on other projects, my embroidery machine has been working just as hard! So has my software! With this new software, I have quite a few more faculties available to me, and I can do quite a bit more than before. I don’t quite have the time to really explore everything that it can do, but hopefully after the holidays I’ll have some time! Hopefully I’ll have some time before my Youtube channel officially launches so I can post a couple videos on that. Anyways, I’ve been stitching out quite a few things. Mostly for throw pillow cases, but also just to show myself how to make them, and what they’ll look like. So here are some pictures of the things I digitized after the jump! Continue reading
People have asked, and I finally got around to doing it! I added Quilt Kits To My Etsy Shop! I’m starting with just this one quilt kit, and hope to add a few more by the end of the month! Wish me luck!
I’ve been working all Holiday Weekend! Now I have a couple of more designs finished, and even more to still stitch out! Wish me luck! I made all the designs fit a 100 by 100 hoop! I did it for those of us with machines that only take a 100 by 100 hoop! In fact, I think I’m buying one of these once I sell a few designs.
I’ve been making some awesome Triforce Towels, and now I’m teaming up with The X-Gays to give a set away! Check back soon for more details!
I’ve been having fun with my new fancy embroidery machine! In fact, I’ve even had a few orders! Here is one of the first ones I got. I finally got around to making them, and now I can ship them out tomorrow morning! I even bought some nice green towels to try things out on! I’m so excited! Wish me luck!
Here is the listing on Etsy if you want to order one!
This was the first time I was asked to do a silver Legend of Zelda Quilt. I absolutely love it! I think I need to make a throw size one for myself! I’ve been burning through commissions lately, in fact I have pictures of two other quilts that I haven’t even put up yet. One of these days I’ll catch up! Wish me luck!
