Making progress!

Andrew's Scrappy Bargello top is done! Just need to make the back and sandwich it, missed his birthday, though,... for sure for Christmas!



I finally made a label for Black Cats Staring:

Remember my iron fist comic inspiration? Well I didn't like how it turned out so I cut it up and am making postcards out of them. Here is "Cat in a Box" and "3 Cat Tails":

My Robyn Pandolph folk art applique quilt is done!

Black Cats Staring done!

Woo hoo! it's done, the binding is on! This is the project I did for Lazy Gal's First Ever Class. Making the top was the easy part, it was the handquilting that seemed to take forever, but after taking a break from it, I was able to finish it quite quickly! This quilt was made completely from scraps from my stash as was the binding. If I had more purple or green scraps I may have done the binding in those colours, but I had lots of orange still, so orange it is. I will hang this in my front window for Halloween, I think.

I outlined the letters in a variegated orange embroidery floss (but 3 strands was a little heavy, next time I would use 2 strands), and then did spiderwebs in a variegated purple hand quilting thread from Coats, in the large open spaces. Then I handquilted parallel lines along the outer edge where there were no spiderwebs.
