TTMT UFO Deadline Challenge Winner(s)!

Leave a reply

Back in November, I posted the UFO Deadline Challenge over on Talk To Me Tuesday. The idea was to choose a UFO and finish it. Any UFO and just GET IT DONE!

The prize for such a simple challenge? Every person that participated, whether they finished or not, has donated a prize! The winner gets all the prizes except the prize the winner donated, which goes to second prize. This short little video is the announcement of those winners!

Fabric Friday – Harry, Harry Everywhere!

Jan 21 Fabric Friday

This week, the Harry Potter fabric fairy visited me and I acquired approximately 20 yards of out of print Harry Potter fabric*. I’m still amazed by this great good fortune and fully plan to share the love. If you’re participating in the Project of Doom, you will see HP fabric in the monthly prize drawing!

All the fabric together, in the trunk of my car on the way to a new home…mine!

I talk a lot in this video about my freshly finished quilt, Grannie’s Nine Patch. I’ve added some photos and other videos below in order to share a little more history and process.

March 16, 2010, where I show off the blocks for the very first time.

The blocks when I first received them from my Mom.

Pieced into a top and pin basted for quilting.

And, the finished product!

Fabric Friday – BFF

fabric friday

Today’s Fabric Friday offering was a gift from my best friend, Jewells, for Christmas. She picked this up at a Japanese festival in Albuquerque. Isn’t it fun?

Tackett is a quilter

A totally non-related photo of my cat, Tackett, helping me quilt. He’s adopted my nine-patch project as his own and had decided I’d been quilting on it long enough! Despite his “help,” I only have about 8 more nine-patch blocks to quilt. Of course, then there is trimming and binding!

Have a very happy Friday and a great weekend! I’ll be at The Linus Connection’s monthly meeting in Round Rock tomorrow. If you’re in the area, stop by and say hello!

Recycled Sweater Bag, Revisited and Resweatered

2 Replies

Reconstructed Sweater Bag #2

Once upon a time, I made some bags out of sweaters (okay, it was probably around 2008!).

The first bag was made for my daughter. It was purple and stripey and had cute little flowers on the front. She loved it so much, and carried it for so long, that I made more and posted a tutorial to boot, including a version on cut out + keep.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle a Thrift Store Sweater!

Two years later, a lovely blogger named Kris asked to post about my recycled sweater bag over on Resweater. And, that is just what happened! There have been lots of visits to the recycled sweater bag post, which has helped me to remember what a fun project it was to create. Thanks, Kris!

It’s been a while since I’ve recycled a sweater, mostly because I live in Texas and wool sweaters are something of a rarity. I haven’t found one that really grabbed my attention in quite some time, but I’m sure if I did, I would be happy to make another of the spiffy bags!
