I did it! I actually did it! I finally posted another free paper piecing pattern on my site! It took my whole vacation to find the time, but I did it. Behold, the majestic beauty that is the Tighty Whitie!
Yeah, it's not much of an update, but I got something done. I feel good!
Well, I've been up to quite a LOT (sewing wise). I tried out paper piecing, finally, for two Fallout themed wall hanging: I made a few thread catchers for my two machines (only took a photo of one though). I got my tattoo finished (the Ooogie Boogie wall hanging was given to my tattoo artist) I also started on an experimental piece which broke my brain trying to figure out how to do it in both/either Quilting Assistant and/or Electric Quilt. You can take a look at the guide I made to and what I have done so far. Here is a cute pic of my kitty to make it all okay.
I'll try to keep this short, but there are quite a few new things up on the site! First off, I edited the layout (at least if you are not on mobile) so that there isnt as much scrolling involved when searching for a pattern. The pictures are a little bit smaller now, but I think it easier to navigate. Second, I've put up Jacques LaLean and Ginger the Tap Dancing Spider up for the Beetlejuice cartoon blocks. They have a bit more embroidery/outlining than a lot of my other designs (particularly Ginger), but I think that is because of the way they are drawn (ie cartoon). I tried to make them without so much, and they just didn't look right. Also, I put up a Pumpkin from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I based the pattern on a restoration of an actual set piece, so it is pretty darn authentic! It is also a pretty intricate pattern, so if you want a challenge, feel free to try it. You can thank Burton's hate of straight lines for that! It is up for testing, so a...
I want to put a special thanks out there to two very special people. Those people are Sharon Garner Powell (Oogie Boogie) and Jeaux Minvielle at JeauxsDesigns.com (Victoria)! They are the wonderful people who have tested two of my new Tim Burton blocks and lived to tell the tale... and suggest a few changes to make them easier (which are now updated on my site ). That also means I am in the process of submitting the two of them for the Fandom in Stitches site. In appreciation of all those brave souls who try out my patterns, I have made a new " Quilt Gallery " section to my website to showcase those who test/make/show so move for my patterns (shared always with permission). Again, thank you soooooo much! Thank you for helping me improve and I hope you love what I have created so far... and what I have yet to create in the future!
