Hello, friends! I’ll post these patterns properly to Sewhooked next Friday, but couldn’t resist posting the link to our TTMT BOM Month 2 because these 2 patterns were designed by me!
Friends, I just had to share Jeanie’s most recent TTMT video! She shares quilt tops made for a school fundraiser where she works made from orphan blocks I passed on to her. The blocks were given to me by Sarah in Houston and Krista with the intention that they be used in charity quilts.
I hope you watch to see how cleverly she put these tops together as well as a cameo by her absolutely adorable granddaughter.
Today I’m sharing the final five charity quilts started at #bffretreat in 2022! All quilts shown will be donated to Project Linus in Albuquerque, NM, where my BFF Jewells volunteers. I also share a quick little fabric basket made to hold my clothes pins.
As you watch this, I’m on an international adventure with my eldest (adult) kid.
I’m so pleased to be able to share my FINALLY finished Star Trek Row Along quilt top from the 2019 event on Fandom in Stitches. Also in this video, I share my first two #ttmtbom blocks (photos below).
Today’s TTMT includes my first try at ruler quilting resulting in a finished charity quilt, a fantastic thrift haul from ACR, a sweet Chook pattern by Catherine Magraith, and more!
You will need small amounts of 7 fabric colors as shown.
Use 1/4” seam allowance throughout.
Print pattern.
Cut out all pieces as listed on pages 3 & 4.
Tip: Use freezer paper for your pattern pieces OR a small piece of double stick or masking tape on the back of the paper pieces to hold them in place.
Tip: A glue stick works great to hold pieces in place before stitchingin place.
Applique the following in the order listed below using the technique of your choice. All pieces start with left or right body.
wing on top of body
head on top of wing+body
pupil on top of eye (use photos for reference)
eye on top of head (use photos for reference)
Stitch comb right sides together, turn, clip, & add a small amount of stuffing. Stitch closed using a scant 1/4” seam.
Fold beak in half. Stitch one side closed. Clip end, turn, add a small amount of stuffing, stitch closed with a 1/4″ seam.
Layer feet with a piece of batting. Stitch around, cut away excess batting. Details are optional. I used a Frixion pen to mark the foot shape. (affiliate link)
Pin beak & comb in place, stitch.
Stitch gusset to one side of body. Press out, align other side of body to body + gusset. Stitch. Leave a 2” opening to turn.
Clip curves.
Turn and hand stitch closed.
Hand stitch or glue feet in place.
