A Little Help From My friends

It’s Linus Saturday today and I’m one of the willing and happy distributor of blankets. We sort them by size, fold them and pack them off to send out to children in crisis in Central Texas.

This month, I’m taking four blankets to the monthly meeting, three courtesy of wonderful friends.

Today, I have Birthday Feet

Birthday Feet

My best friend makes socks (and many other great things, too!). It’s just possible that she makes the best socks in the world.

Of course, I might be a little biased since I have several pair of the little beauties.

This is my newest pair. They’re perfect. Perfect color. Perfect weight. Perfectly soft. She made them for my birthday.

I love them.

I hope your day is full of best friends, hand knitted socks and chocolate!

Something Quilty This Way Comes

Something very exciting has been brewing in my mind the last couple of months. Plans are in action! Things are happening! Designers have been contacted! A domain is bought!

What, wait? A domain?

Yes, yes, yes!

Fandom In Stitches is coming.

Fandom In Stitches will be fandom quilters one-stop-site for quilt patterns from a variety of fandoms. Many of the Sewhooked Guest Designers have already signed on to share their awesome fandom quilt patterns. Instead of searching by designer, you’ll be searching by genre or fandom, to make it simple and easy to find what you’re looking for!

How much is this going to cost? Nothing, nada, zilch. Fandom patterns have been and will remain free. All Fandom In Stitches Designers, including myself, donate their patterns free of charge for the love of fandom.  Please see copyright information on Fandom In Stitches for details.

Cinco de DMC!

DMC

When I started this whole embroidery gig about a week and a half ago, I had about a dozen colors of DMC left over from my friendship bracelet days when my kids were younger.  After stitching four blocks, I have significantly less than that.

As of today, thanks to the generosity of one ultra-fabulous and equally as generous Queen Shirley, I now have a HUGE and extraordinarily well-organized collection of DMC.

Project of Doom book titles, here I come!

Embroidery, continued.

Bluebird Quilts Retro BOM Block 3 Bluebird Quilts Retro BOM Block 4

The embroidery adventure has continued with Blue Bird Quilts Retro BOM block 3 and 4. 5 is not available yet, so I’m thinking hard about how to tackled my Project of Doom blocks. I want to make sure that I know exactly what I want on those blocks before I make a single stitch! In case you missed it, Week 16 was posted yesterday. I still can’t believe we’re halfway through our BOW!
