TTMT #836 – Bookcase Quilt Finale! (Bookcase Quilt Show & Tell)

As promised, this is the finale of the EPIC bookcase quilt I’ve been working on for my husband. As a bonus, I shared photos of every Project of Doom/Bookcase Quilt that my hands have touched.

I talk about this project in more detail in this video

And I talk more about quilting here

Everything you need to know to get started paper piecing, including my free tutorials.

NEW on my website, a page dedicated to my Bookcase Quilt patterns, helpful information, a gallery of my bookcase quilts, and more!

More info about this quilt:

The Project of Doom and many other bookcase quilt blocks are all on Fandom in Stitches. Look for “Bookcase Quilts” in the purple menu. Indiana Jones blocks by Holly Urbain and Lantern block by Wendi Riggens. All other blocks were designed by me. Additional books-only filler blocks will be coming soon, free for personal use, via Fandom in Stitches and Sewhooked.

I designed the overall quilt and all of my quilt block patterns using EQ8.

I designed all the book titles and many of the embroidery items myself using ⁨Embrilliance Stitch Artist 1.

If you need help hooping for machine embroidered titles, I have a video tutorial showing how I hooped my blocks.

Other designs in this quilt:

Urban Threads Anatomical Skull (quilt version edited by me)
Urban Threads Cthulhu Crest

Anita Goodesign Grecian Garden (mine is an older disc copy, but this has all the same designs)
Anita Goodesign Egyptian

Bookcase Fabric Moda Grunge Black 204, Background Fabric Moda Grunge Fig 379

If you’re looking for anything else I didn’t specifically list, let me know and I’ll point you in the right direction.

TTMT #833 – Blousy Thoughts (Crafty Show & Tell)

Leave a reply

Hello, friends! I was sick last week so this is a pretty short video. There were lots of crafty thoughts during the week, and I’d love your opinion on an idea I’ve had.

I forgot to mention that I did manage to paint and hang the birdfeeder I showed last week. There’s a quick photo in the intro.

Hello, friends!

I have a new free bookcase quilt along pattern to paper piece over on Fandom in Stitches for today’s installment of a Year of Doom, a multi-fandom bookcase quilt along!

This super simple pattern is a picture frame to fussy cut fabric, add your own printed fabric, or the quilt block of your choice.

The inside of the frame measures 6″x8″ (6 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ with seam allowance).

The block is 10“ (10 1/2“) and will mix and match with any Project of Doom or Year of Doom bookcase quilt block.

The quilt along is taking place during the entire year of 2021. This post includes the patterns that I personally have shared so far. Be sure to check out Fandom in Stitches for more awesome blocks from a wide variety of designers. All designers are volunteers and all patterns are free for personal and non-profit use.

The machine embroidery shown is a personal embellishment and is not included.
