It’s starting to look a lot like slippers!
You know what they say about a guy with big feet? He needs big slippers!
The the first sign in my house that colder weather is coming…The Big Guy needs new slippers! This is the only kind of slippers he’ll wear, made by me and designed years ago just for his size 13s.
In about two weeks, it’ll be a year since I posted this little gem of a pattern, which itself was designed in 2000. This year’s pair was made with my favorite new yarn, I Love This yarn. I love how the earthiness of the colors all come together for the finished product.

Quilting: Sweet Honey Bee
Dianne Ferguson, owner of Honey Bee Quilt Store with her Harry Potter blocks
Since the summer of this year, I have had the great pleasure of being the Paper Piecing instructor for Honey Bee Quilt Store in Austin, Texas.
What I didn’t expect was that not would Honey Bee embrace me and my paper piecing classes (which several of the employees have taken!), but both the store owner (Dianne, shown above) and Kerry (who I will get a photo of with her blocks!) would both work on Harry Potter quilts using both my patterns and Guest Designer patterns from sewhooked! Every time one of them shows me their quilty progress, I get more excited about their future quilts. They’re both using gorgeous fabrics for their blocks and their stacks get a little taller each time I visit.
Tomorrow, I’m teaching Intro to Paper Piecing at Honey Bee to a full house!
Stop by the shop on December 6, 2009 at 1:00 pm for Open House to meet next session’s instructors, get a peek at the classes and sign up early before they fill up. I’ll be there along with other instructors for questions and just to hang out and meet potential students!
My intro technique class and a new class, Paper Piecing + Curves (New York Beauty block) will be offered in the Spring. Many of the wonderful kits and projects offered at Honey Bee include paper piecing, so if you haven’t learned yet and are anywhere near the Austin area, join me for a fun technique class in the spring.
Intro to Paper Piecing, February 20, 2009
Paper Piecing + Curves (New York Beauty Block) – Date TBA
For those of you that didn’t catch it earlier in the week, one of sewhooked’s own Guest Designers, Cat Magraith, was featured on the Honey Bee Blog after her visit here to the U.S. and some seriously quilty shopping at Honey Bee!

A Holly Jolly Memory
“Holly Jolly Christmas”
12″x13″ – 2008
Do you remember this little beauty?
It was a gift that I made for our friends Eric & Dominae. One of my favorite quilty sites, The Quilting Gallery, is having a contest called Holiday Traditions. There’s a small category and I decided that “Holly Jolly” would be the perfect quilt to enter.
The contest is open to small and large quilts and to any winter holiday and there are loads of fantastic prizes. Go see and enter your own holiday quilt!
