Tomorrow is the big day – the day I will post the very first pattern for the Harry Potter Paper Piecing Project of Doom.

This project is months in the making and has been created for all my fellow crafty HP fans as a spanking big THANK YOU for all the support I’ve received since I started designing and sharing patterns online over five years ago.

It’s also the last HP paper piecing project I plan to do. I’ve put everything I have into making this project truly awesome and I hope it will be fun, fun, fun both for me to present and for you to play along.

I’ve been teasing about this for weeks in my Talk To Me Tuesday videos and have even shown off my background fabric on Fabric Friday. I’ve been stitching up a storm and I cannot express how EXCITED I am about this quilt!

If you love, or even just like Harry Potter, if you paper piece or you want to learn, this is the time and the project for you! There will be lots of us playing along and at the end we will have a completed quilt top. Not just a stack of blocks, but an entire quilt. I’ve designed the layout as well as the blocks and will give instruction on how to complete the top once all the blocks are made. A whole, complete Harry Potter quilt!

Are you excited yet?

If you are, visit hp_paperpiecing on Livejournal. That’s where all the fun will be taking place! If you’re not a member of the community yet, it’s easy to sign up for a free Livejournal account and then join the community. All Project of Doom (POD) patterns will be posted there first, so be sure to sign up!

If you’re part of the hp_paperpiecing community and you share your photos with me either via email or through our flickr group, you will be eligible for the monthly prize drawing for participating members! The prizes are fantastic this year and have been donated by a variety of community members. I’m waiting for a last couple of prizes to arrive in the mail and then I’ll post a photo of the awesomeness.

I can’t wait to get started!

2011 Project of Doom

Chances are pretty good that, if you follow my blog, you like Harry Potter. Why? It could be because of my Harry Potter quilt, or maybe the Hogwarts-themed birthday party, my daughter’s Harry Potter bedroom or maybe the costumes or buttons, or scarves or crafts or….you get the idea.

I love Harry Potter and I love to create.

In 2011, as a Thank You to all of those members of the HP fandom that have been my cheerleaders and my friends over the years, I will be hosting The Project of Doom over on my quilting community on Livejournal, hp_paperpiecing.

The Project of Doom is a Block of the Week (BOW) Mystery Quilt to create an entire Harry Potter-themed quilt top.

We’ll be starting the week of January 12, 2011 and you’re invited, too!
