TTMT #821 – TTMT Blocks & Tolkien Row! (Quilty Show & Tell)

I’m still chug chug chugging away at the titles for my hub’s bookcase block and am really pleased with progress so far. March 1 was our next to last post for the TTMT BOM! You can find those pattern links below.

The flower vine on the Aragorn & Arwen book is from an OESD Heirloom Legacy set (plants & birds), design DC067_48. It’s from an older CD set and I could not locate it on their website.

I have been using Embrilliance Stitch Artist 1 to create my book titles and draw images for this quilt. Several people have asked what I’ve used to “turn” my images into embroidery, and the simplest answer is that I draw them myself in Stitch Artist 1. They are not “digitized” but drawn by me specifically as embroidery images.

TTMT #820 – Embroidered Bookworm (Quilty Show & Tell)

Leave a reply

This week I finally get to work on my to do list and not just stuff to keep me occupied while waiting for my wrist to heal! I posted a new Raggedy Rescue Q & A last week and have a new rescue in the works. Fandom in Stitches updates will also be happening again starting later this week.

In which I share the teeny tiny bit I’ve been able to do as I continue recovering from a sprained wrist. Typing is still difficult, so no Fandom in Stitches updates until next week.

TTMT #818 – Try, Error, Try (Quilty Show & Tell)

1 Reply

Today I share some crafty things I attempted while recovering from a sprained wrist. Spoiler, it didn’t go well!

Hexagon update! I mentioned in today’s TTMT video that I tried cutting hexies last week and got frustrated after a few tries. After trial and error, I changed my settings to medium cotton and more pressure. I also changed around the orientation of the hexagons which seem to cut better.

I created a new project from scratch in Cricut Design Space for less fabric waste.

TTMT #816 – Sick Day (Quilty Show & Tell)

Leave a reply

It’s a short one today, my friends. I’m in the middle of a head cold and just wanted to check in and show you what I got up to last week.

Fandom paper pieced patterns can be found on Fandom in Stitches. Sting is a new pattern and hasn’t yet been edited to share.

The other pattern is under Multi-Fandom quilt patterns. Search for “Indy” or “Holly.”
