paper pieced celestial wizard

Celestial paper pieced Cloaked Wizard…my mom found this fabric at a garage sale for me…it’s been waiting for the perfect place to make its appearance…tada! And I have probably 2 more yards of it just in case I need more some day!  This pattern is from the set Wand Wielders http://www.craftsy.com/patterns/quilting?sortBy=relevance&patte… He is all hand pieces and is a massive 9 inches square. Completed September 17^th 2013

a bit of paper piecing with Shamus

 

Paper Pieced Witchie momma block.  Started the second set of Witch Bonnet Sue’s…I think this one turned out ok I’m just not a massive fan of reproduction fabrics… She’s all hand stitched and is a tidy 9 inches square. She was purchased with a set from: http://www.craftsy.com/user/470750/pattern-store?NAVIGATION_PAGE_CO… oh no…when I was capturing this address I noticed there is a new set of witchie friends…I have the feeling this quilt will end up being quite massive…. But I digress…(internal happy dance) she was completed September 15^th 2013

 

With all the washing of baby stuff I found one blanket with a stain that Shamus has adopted…aw… September 15^th2013

Jim’s Yule tide mini quilt is done… this is a Howler and the pattern can be found at http://www.sewhooked.org/paper_piecing/img/guests/challenge/howler_pattern_jpyka2.jpg

MASSIVE snapping turtle Jaz and I saved on the road between Watertown and Delano last night…he was about 40 pounds of reptilian anger…his foot was bigger than my hand.  Took us a while with a reusable bag and a lug wrench to push his really heavy butt off the road into the ditch.  He must have stayed down there and moved on since I didn’t see any body this morning (Whew) June 15^th 2010

 

Does Shamus have enough toys?!?  He has so many he’s exhausted just having them all over him after an evening walk.  Poor baby! June 15^th 2010

Apple one!

1^st apple for two Apple Bees quilt blocks I’m making.  Pattern from http://www.sewhooked.org/paper_piecing/img/paper_piecing/edited/5_inch_apple.jpg

Went wonderfully easy! This will go into a block for the SWGWSW July swap.  We’re to make a block that represents a place where you had an experience of inspiration, a special place of enlightenment, a place you love, a place that spoke to you sometime in your life.  Now I’m sure yer thinking ‘Apple Bees’ yeah that’s inspirational…not…well, that’s where I had my 1^st date with Jim, Jazmin in tow as our behavior adjuster…we met at Ridgedale Apple Bee’s and it was a lovely start to our relationship which has lasted 4 years now and promises to be one of those permanent deals…even now when we want a date night inevitably we end up at Apple Bees…

Like all the other SWGWSW blocks I’m making 2, one for the swap one for my quilt.  They’ll both have blue paisley background (I love paisley).  This block is about 6.5 inches right now…looks pretty nifty!
