TTMT #183 – TABABOM!

I ran out of time to mention what we’ll be doing over on FiS next year! Lilja is organizing a year-long Lord of the Rings Block of the Month with multiple designers, faces old and new to FiS, to continue the journey. Not All Who Wander Are Lost will be presented through Fandom In Stitches starting January 2013. How exciting is that?!

There and Back Again

TABABOM by jen

We have traveled There and Back Again and this journey, at least is complete!

The quilt top above is my version of the There and Back Again (TABABOM) project designed by myself, Lilja Björk, Schenley Pilgram and Michelle Thompson and presented through Fandom In Stitches.

I used all Stonehenge Fabrics from Northcott to create my TABABOM quilt top. I already have quilting plans so that my own TABABOM journey will be truly complete!

I can’t tell you what an honor it was to get to work with these three talented ladies. When I first approached them about the project, it t was just an idea. A Hobbit Block of the Month. They all enthusiastically joined in and we all worked out how many blocks, what blocks, who would design each and agreed on a layout. Without them, this project would not be what it is!

The Lonely Mountain, TABABOM Block 13

The Final Block, The Lonely Mountain

 

If you are a Tolkien fan, or just love beautiful quilts, check out our final TABABOM post. It includes block 13, The Lonely Mountain, designed by yours truly as well as photos of each of the quilts created by the designers.

All patterns for TABABOM can be found on Fandom In Stitches.

You’re wondering how we can possibly top this? Lilja is organizing a year-long Lord of the Rings Block of the Month with multiple designers, faces old and new to FiS, to continue the journey. Not All Who Wander Are Lost will be presented through Fandom In Stitches starting January 2013. How exciting is that?!
