What Have I Been Doing?

Image
 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.

Lots of Updates

Image
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).

Next up on the Corpse Bride docket is Maggot. Since he is pretty vibrant when compared to the other character designs in the movie, he was actually pretty easy to do. I was going to follow his segmentation with my seaming, but I eventually decided against it. Maybe I will do some stitching to mimic the segments when I do this block to augment the look. I haven't done much sewing because (as stated before) my machine is acting up, so I am wary to touch it for fear it may explode. I have been picking up Burton-eque fat quarters when I see them. I was surprised how many my local Meijer had, given they aren't exactly known for crafting supplies. Wish I had more to show you but my other big piece isn't quite ready to show off yet. Soon, I hope. I had to put a gif in here. I just love gifs... I don't get much of a chance to use them in my other blog.
