Y’all! The bookcase quilt top for my husband is DONE!
Some info about this quilt:
The Project of Doom and many other bookcase quilt blocks are all on Fandom in Stitches. Look for “Bookcase Quilts” in the purple menu. Indiana Jones blocks by Holly Urbain and Lantern block by Wendi Riggens. All other blocks were designed by me. Additional books-only filler blocks will be coming soon, free for personal use, via Fandom in Stitches and Sewhooked.
I designed the overall quilt and all of my quilt block patterns using EQ8.
I designed all the book titles and many of the embroidery items myself using Embrilliance Stitch Artist 1.
This week I’m talking about my super fun birthday gift from Jewells, some very happy progress on the bookcase quilt for my husband, and last week’s thrift haul.
I took a quick break from the bookcase quilt to make new blouses just for me: one made from a Simplicity pattern and fabric I cut from an IKEA duvet cover, and one from a self-drafted pattern!

The Project of Doom and many other bookcase quilt blocks are all on www.fandominstitches.com. Look for “Bookcase Quilts” in the purple menu. Sting is not a finished pattern and is not yet ready to share.

Hello, friends! I’m back at it this week with some progress on the bookcase quilt, including a quilty plan, new blocks, and some fun practice in Embrilliance Stitch Artist 1. I even took a little time to make something for myself. ♥
Hello friends! Today, I’m sharing my to-do wish list for 2025. This includes what I’m already working on and what I would like to tackle this year. The #ttmtbom is high on the list, as is my husband’s bookcase quilt (a little bit multi-fandom and a little history quilt!). I’ve got some new projects I’m hoping to work on and design skills I’d like to improve. I hope you come along for the journey!
I really want to work on improving my skills with Embrilliance Embroidery Software. I purchased Essentials when I bought my first embroidery machine and added Stitch Artist 1 a few years later. I am not sponsored; I just really enjoy the software!
Questions? Leave a comment and I’m happy to reply!
What are you working on this year? I would love to hear all about it.
FUNDRAISER for Miss P! There are a couple of baskets left and some new products donated by other quilters!
Happy end of year, my friends! As time slips into the future, I thought it would be fun to share a recap of what I worked on in 2024. I sometimes forget what I’ve done in a year. This is a good reminder to myself that I LOVE making things.
See you tomorrow for the January TTMT BOM! Happy New Year!
This week I talk about finishing up a Freestanding Lace (FSL) Christmas tree, making fabric baskets for Miss P’s study abroad fundraiser, some fabulous mending, and a fun Urban Threads in the hoop coaster!
Fabric basket tutorial will be posted tomorrow, Wednesday, December 18, 2024!
UPDATE: All Southwest Sonoma Star fundraiser quilts have been sold! WOO!
