My Friends Make Stuff 2010
You may remember Handmade For The Holidays 2009, where I talked about my crafty friends that make and sell handmade awesomeness.
I started posting this list originally on Livejournal back in 2007 and each year I collect names from personal friends who are crafty and awesome, making all kinds of great things to sell. This year, I’m including an author friend because he is a very talented artist and self-published, which is, of course, awesome!
I personally own stuff made by everyone on this list. It’s ALL amazing, and made with skill and love, and in the case of the books, beautifully illustrated and a joy to read.
Also, I will happily continue to add the names of my friends to this list until the end of 2010, so if you should be on here and aren’t, just drop me an email!
Also be sure to check out my shop and etsy store for quilting, paper pieced patterns, crochet hats and buttons!
Listings are in alphabetical order by first word. 🙂
What you sell: this year will be hats, and aprons and maybe a few bags

What you sell: Handspun yarn, fingerless gloves (coming soon but I do take custom orders), baby hats, adult hats. Right now the shop has yarn and 1 baby hat

Last date to order before Christmas: I’ll do my best to ship as close to Christmas as I get orders. Mail takes at LEAST 3-4 days so I can’t offer guarantees, but I promise to do my best!

Fabric Friday – The Treasure Chest
When I first started paper piecing and had very little stash, an amazing woman named Clare gave me a huge box of scrap fabrics. They were the kind of things many quilters would throw away as being too small to be useful.
It was a real gift to me.
A great deal of my first Harry Potter quilt was made out of fabrics from Clare’s generosity…
MyMagical Lens, completed 2007
The long and the short of this Fabric Friday? Never underestimate the gift of scraps! I share them whenever I can, and gladly accept them from friends that would like to clean theirs out. And, of course, I always have my Treasure Chest to dive into whenever I need a tiny piece of just the right fabric!

TTMT #86 – Tolkien To Me Tuesday
I am embarrassed at how neglectful I’ve been of my poor, dusty crafty blog! Can it really be a whole week since I posted here? What possible reason, you ask, could I have for such blatant neglect of my online crafty home?
At the end of October, in a moment of insanity, I signed up for NaNoWriMo.
Yeah, I know, because I don’t have enough to do, right?
The awesome and amazing thing is, I did it! I wrote a 50,000+ word novel in a month, about 1/3 of which was written just this past weekend. So, I procrastinated… a little. It’s done now and I’m proud of my work!
Today’s video is dedicated to Deb, who sent me the best early Christmas gift I could have possibly dreamed of! You’re right Deb, there really is magic in surprises.

Classic Film
Whew.
What a relief that this pattern is finally created for your enjoyment!
When I first drafted this pattern back in 2008, it was strictly as a prop for my then-book. Once my contract was canceled, this piece sat in closet with the rest of the finished Magical Friends projects.
When I made the decision to literally bring them out of the closet and add the patterns I had worked so very hard on to my infant Sewhooked shop, showing off Saturday Morning Monster Movies garnered an immediate response. You wanted the layout pattern and you wanted it yesterday! Well, of course I couldn’t find my original notes anywhere. So, guess who drafted this pattern all over again, just for you?
I am so excited that I can finally share the newly drafted, tested and altogether fun-to-make Classic Film pattern. I hope you have as much fun making it as I had drafting it…both times!
Classic Film was created specifically to display 5” (finished) quilt blocks, which is by far my favorite size block to design. All the Magical Friends are 5″ in their original size, as are most of the free patterns available on Sewhooked.
Use your favorite paper pieced patterns, applique or fussy cut to create a striking film layout to show off your favorite blocks!
Finished size – 12″ x 31″
Techniques – Traditional and Strip Piecing

TTMT #84 – Challenge Yourself
Fabric Friday
I don’t usually buy large prints, and I didn’t buy this one, it was a gift from my fabulous friend, Cat. I used most of it to make a pillowcase for my space loving Mr. G. The rest I used to make… ahhhh, you’ll just have to wait and see!!
Happy crafting!
