Labyrinth Walk Quilt

 


I completed this exactly one year after purchasing the pattern (that's how long it took me to get the guts to try!). It is a king size quilt with simple quilting. I'm quite pleased with it overall.

A Round Tuit

 



I found a round tuit pattern at Paper Panache so I just had to make one. I turned the little trinket (48 pieces total) into an ornament for the Christmas tree because I honestly did not think I'd ever get "a round to it" when it comes to making ornaments! 😜  I may make some larger ones with different colors as mug rug/coaster gifts.



Ewok's Photo

 


I made this little wall hanging for a friend. The goal was to make it look a bit like a framed portrait. 

The pattern was created by Kaitlin Sekeres. It is freely available at Fandom in Stitches

This Cat Needs Coffee


I created this mini quilt wall hanging for my daughter's birthday. She is a teacher that loves her cat and has been extra dependent on her coffee to get through the issues caused by the 2020 pandemic. I hope it brings her a smile.

The foundation paper piecing pattern was purchased from Quilt Art Designs

Here are a few more pictures of the process:

 My First Paper Piecing Pattern


I made this paper pieced pattern to represent Al Bundy's football jersey from Married with Children. The yellow background was the closest I could get to matching the Bundy's couch. I used it to make an envelope pillow as a gift for a fan of the show.
