Quick Quiltalong

All my blocks are done!

That was so fast and easy. Now I need to figure out how to put them all together and how to quilt them.

Bayerische

Pattern: Bayerische by Eunny Jang
Yarn: Lorna's Lace Shepherd Sock in Pine
Needles: Addi Lace needles in US1
Notes: I didn't change a thing. They took a lot more time than your average pair of socks but I love them.

Quiltalong at Halfway

The colors are terrible. I can't seem to catch the sun when it's out.

Thursdays are for What the Hell is This?

The competition rages on. Designers are still battling it out to see who can come up with the worst hat ever.

This one definitely isn't the worst. But I love the way it appears to be photoshopped on to the model's head.



This one, however, is a serious contender.



Insane colors? Check.
Fun fur? Check.
Hunormous size? Check.

And then there's the worst poncho battle.



She appears to be locked in some sort of monastery to reflect on her sins while wearing a hair shirt poncho. Though she looks so happy. Must be the shoes.

Quiltalong

When Crazy Mom Quilts announced her Quiltalong in November I thought, "Oh, that sounds fun. I want to do that." Each week I saw the new block and thought, "I'm totally going to do that." This week I realized we were on block 11 out of 12! Whoops.


Week 1


Week 2


Week 3

These blocks go really quickly and are freaking huge. Plus it's a great stashbuster. I do love busting stash.

I Have Not Laughed This Hard in Months

Seriously. Go watch it now.

I Don't Know How He Puts Up With Me

I have been a very bad wife. I completely forgot to blog that Wes's latest film, Cookies for Sale, is showing at the Seattle Children's Film Festival. It is showing two more times during the festival.

Here's a little taste of Wes's film stylings.

Errol

I haven't done one of these Harry Potter blocks in a while. This block still needs to be pressed to keep the upper right corner from flipping up. The pattern for this block printed out smaller than the others. I didn't notice until I finished it. I'll add sashing eventually to make it match the others.

In Case I Haven't Mentioned it Lately

I have a really cute dog.

Spider Quilt

Pattern: Designed by my 9 year old
Size: 50" x 50"
Fabric: Tonga batiks
Notes: Machine-pieced and quilted (basic stitch in the ditch).

Okay, everyone who's seen The Simpsons Movie sing with me!
"Spider quilt, spider quilt. Does whatever a spider quilt does."

Thursdays are for What the Hell is This?

Are you struggling to get some projects finished? Is your huge pile of UFOs getting you down? I have the solution. Just sew together the pieces of all your half-knit sweaters. No one will ever know.
