Week 21 Of Project 52

Week 21 of Project 52 brings me to this cute little quilt kit I made up when I fell in love with some Gnome fabric.  The Project will use a pattern called "Through the Looking Glass" designed by Sarah Price.  You can find it here if you are interested.

Cat Toys

 Well I didn't get the cat stockings made, but I did make some Cat Toys!

I used this pattern from "Ruffles and Rain Boots" as a guide.  I found this cute little project on Pinterest and I converted them to catnip toys vs an ornament.  But it would be fun to make ornaments!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas

Bumps In The Road

 Do you ever experience bumps in the road with your quilting?  I told you about the one I had with my miscut gnomes.  That one has been "smoothed" out and the top is completed.  Not exactly the same design as the pattern, but pretty close.

So I was working on new project when I encountered another bump in the road.  I was doing some applique that you use the double stick interfacing type product, when I had this happen:

Look at the right hand side.  The adhesive melted through to the front.  Ugh!  Plus, my iron died right after that.  So, I'm thinking the iron overheating caused this mess to my little camper.  Back to square one.  Only this time I will use pins and not the double stick.

Hoping I can finish this project soon with out any more bumps.

Progress!

 Some progress has been made on my miscut Gnomes!

The pattern should have all four sides looking like the upper left and lower right hand corners.  But because of my miscut, I will only have two.  The other two corners will look like the upper right hand corner.  But I'm so happy I had enough fabric and skill to make this miscut work out!

MisCut

 Well I had a miscut.  I cut this pattern out last summer and I was starting to sew it together yesterday.  Guess what?  I cut my HSTs the wrong size.  And of course they were smaller than what was needed for the pattern.

The pattern is "Spaceman" by Running Doe Quilts for Villa Rosa Designs.  A great pattern for use with a panel.  Stay tuned for how I end up fixing it.  Who knows how it will end up!

I have been watching my daffodils in the front yard and the plantings we have in the backyard bloomed first!  So happy to see their cheery blossoms!

Happy Spring!
