Counting Down To Harry, Saturday

HP T-Shirt Countdown

It’s Saturday and it’s day two of my Harry Potter t-shirt wearing marathon as I count down to the release of Deathly Hallows, part 2.

Today, I wore my Ravenclaw tee. This is a stenciled tee made from a stencil I created and cut from freezer paper . Good Ravenclaw tees are hard to come by and I wanted to represent my house! See those spiffy earrings? Gifts from hp5freak!

Not only did I get to wear my Ravenclaw t-shirt today, but I wore it to Anime Overload here in Austin, a local anime and pop culture convention. I did not run into any HP characters, but we did see the 11th Doctor, Agent Washington and a number of other favorite characters.

Free stencils on the craft page.

How long do we have to wait until the movie is released? Click to find out!

Counting Down To Harry

Counting Down to Harry Potter DH2

I’m wearing an HP shirt every day leading up to the release of the last Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows part 2.

Why yes, I am that big of a dork fangirl.

Today’s shirt is a Hogwarts Crest tee that I got from Hot Topic ages ago. It’s one of three (or is it four?!) crest tees that I own. You can’t really see  it, but I’m also wearing owl earrings, too.

I always count down to Harry, whether online or in real life. For my Half-Blood Prince count down, I talked about (free!) stencils!

Tomorrow, I’ll be sporting one of my own stenciled tees. In all honesty, I could probably have worn HP tees for a month without repeating, but some of my old favorites have been retired and are being saved for a some-day-when-I-can-bear-to-cut-them-up-quilt.

An Unusual Day

1 Reply

Remember that post, oh, a few hours ago, in which I mentioned that Craft had featured my Harry Potter quilt?

Well, later, this happened:

Harry Potter Quilt on The Daily What

A friend emailed me a link to The Daily What, where they have my quilt listed as the Kickass Quilt of the Day.

It’s been such a crazy day, with my inbox exploding, Twitter tweeting and Facebook, well, whatever FB does.

The evolution of the Harry Potter quilting community that I’ve been lucky enough to be part of over the last five or six years is the best part of all of this for me. Because this quilt? I finished it in 2007.

If  you’re not a regular Sewhooked visitor or one of those fantastically awesome HP fans that sees the quilt and instantly thinks “I get it,” you might think I’m just a crazy fan with nothing else to do. You’d be both right and wrong. Sure, I am a crazy fan, I won’t ever deny that, but boy do I have other things to do. The important part is how I choose to spend my time.

Make what you love. Love what you make.

How Wednesday Greeted Me

My HP Quilt on Craft

I woke up this morning to an inbox full of messages and posts on my Twitter and Facebook about a certain quilt showing up on Craft this morning.  When I clicked the link, my eyes were filled with the image above.

Woah.

And you know what? There’s even a link to the Project of Doom!

You all know that if I love anything, it’s paper piecing and fandom. Despite having completed my quilt in 2007, I still love quilting Harry and I still love my fandom friends.

Thanks, Craft, for sharing my labor of love and thank you, thank you to everyone that was excited enough about it to get in touch with me first thing this morning!

Remember, all Harry Potter free quilt patterns on Sewhooked, as well as other fandom patterns, both mine and the Sewhooked Guest Designers‘, are moving to Fandom In Stitches. I’m two designers away from having the Harry Potter page complete, where you’ll find all HP patterns organized by categories in my favorite easy to browse thumbnail format.

Fandom patterns will continue to be available on Sewhooked for a limited time and then those pages will automatically re-direct to FiS.
