Solar Flare quilt phase 1

I really loved the look of the solar flare quilt, shown on Tula Pinks update, I showed it to Mum & she brought it for me. I haven’t paper foundation paper pieced for a while. It was lovely to get back into it.

Yellow & pink block

This is the first set I made, I soon got back into the swing of folding, cutting & pressing.

Block 2

Blocks 2 & 3 together

So that’s the big square blocks done, on to the smaller ones

Block 4

These blocks are triangles, so together they make quite nice squares.

Blocks 5 &6

So with 4 of each block made, a large quantity of squares cut, 2 from each fabric & some borders cut.

It’s time to start thinking about construction. Time to grab a coffee & read though the next lot of instructions.

The finished Landscape

All the flowers are done. I really enjoyed this piece. It will be mounted ready for framing at some point.

Landscape phase 3: trees

The trees are finally starting to take shape, one more tree trunk to go! The tree trunks are made from a old gift bag handle I found while tidying up.

Tiny teddy

Just started making & sharing again after a long break from WP. I’m just starting to get back into enjoying making again.

My first tiny teddy bear, after an even longer break from making them. I have been reviving my toy / bear making skills over lockdown & decided it was time to start sharing again.

Ribbon embroidery roses 2

The leaves have been added, & now I need to work out the mounting bit. Oh & a small seed bead border.

Kris: Christmas Star

  
The pattern is by Zabbez, I loved making him. I’m hoping to get a few more made for Christmas. I’ve brought a second pattern, so he has a friend. Also I find it impossible to make the same thing over & over.  

 
I used hair spray to stiffen up the pettles on his hat. 

Dr Who : 12th Doctor

  

I finished the 12th Doctor in time for Stephen’s Birthday ( it’s just taken a while to photograph) I used Allison Hoffman’s pattern from Ravelry , she has a web site craftiscool.com.  I kept to the pattern except I used small eyes ( you know the ones you have) & I embroidered his hair, I started to the crochet version & did not like it.  He really wasn’t too difficult to make & I enjoyed making him. 

Geek-along: Lord of the Rings

I now have 11 geek-along squares finished. The square has the word friend in elvish on it. So Luna asks will you be my friend?
