Good morning!
Today I am sharing a couple of projects never before seen on the forum.
In 2018, my employer decided we needed a mascot. When the dust settled on the selection process, the mighty Triceratops was chosen. His name is Stomp. I bought a t-shirt with logo the first week they came out (January 2019). I looked at the logo on the t-shirt, and wondered if I could re-create it in appliqué. The answer was yes! I downloaded a picture of logo, flipped it (mirror image) and printed it out on label paper. I applied heat n bond to the fabric, put the label over the paper of the heat n bond, and used it to cut out the shapes. It wasn’t until later I discovered heat n bond made sheets that could go through an ink jet printer!
The border is strip piecing. I got the idea from a Facebook live video with Jenny and Misty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oPvjNpGMbk. I quilted the project on my embroidery machine. The wall hanging lives in my office at work. The boss went nuts for it, and told me she wanted a pillow with just the black border and the appliqué. I told her no, but surprised her with a pillow for her birthday.
The baby quilt I made for the boss’s grand baby (just shared last month), probably makes a lot more sense now!
I have been a huge Scooby Doo fan ever since I was a kid. My Ohio sister buys me a Scooby Doo ornament from Hallmark every year. In 2017, there was a Scooby Doo fabric line. I discovered it at the tail end of its run, and fabric supplies were very limited. I managed to snag a fat quarter bundle, and turned it into a Super Simple Squares quilt. M* did the quilting, the design name is “ghostly.” They did such a good job blending the thread, they are hard to see. I took a close up pic for you.
The last quilt is the ugliest quilt I have ever made. I had a few squares left over from my Scooby quilt, and decided to try a disappearing nine patch. The quilt was also a test run for quilting with my embroidery machine.
Thank you for looking!
