Work has begun on the Tardis quilt! For those non-Whovians, a Tardis is the time machine that Doctor Who (from BBC) travels in thru space & time. My son got me hooked on Dr. Who and I've become a true fanatic!
Today I went out to select the fabric for the backing and found GLOW IN THE DARK space fabric!! Very cool...asked several ladies if they thought teenagers would like this on a quilt (showed pic of Tardis) and all said even they would like the fabric. So...you guessed it...several yards are now residing in my sewing room waiting for the tops to be compl Halloween Parade is finished!! WOOHOO!! Put the last stitches in the binding 10 minutes ago. Love the feeling of accomplishment when I complete a quilt. Will post a pic as soon as I can get my son to hold it up...it's so big!! Cannot wait to decorate my trunk with it at our Trunk or Treat this Saturday (26th), 1-4pm at Newark Baptist Church on Rt. 273 in Elkton, MD. Stop by if you can!
you know what they say about hindsight...one of the things I regret is giving away my son Blake's amazing collection of animal/Dinosaur t-shirts. We would search for the perfect realistic graphics everywhere...whales from Maui, Gorilla from San Diego, white tigers from Las Vegas, etc. What an amazing T-shirt quilt he would have if I had kept them!!!
So as you're cleaning out your kids old clothes, think about what you're getting rid of before throwing into a box. Someday those favorite shirts, holiday dresses, baby clothes, etc. may become precious memories that can be made into a cherished heirloom! note to self...don't try to catch a falling hot iron! Ouch!! My fingers hurt!
Today's quilting day for my Halloween Parade quilt. Thanks to my friend Sarah, I've signed up to participate in a "Trunk or Treat" this Saturday at my church. Guess what I'm decorating the trunk and going as? Yup...a quilter!! Need to get the quilting finished so I can work on the binding tonight. I didn't realize how big it ended up 73"x73"! B So excited that the website is starting to really come together! Sometimes I feel like I should have taken a web design class LOL. Every day there's a new trick or feature that I can use to enhance...love it!!
Today's a big day for LQC. I'm designing a Tardis quilt!! Cannot wait to see how it turns out. I'm pretty sure I'll have to make one for this household, although, Blake and I will probably be fighting over it...maybe I should design 2 styles? |
