My two latest projects...
 
2 Attachment(s)
I had a "Weird Al" flag I wanted to do something with, so I decided to make a concert blanket (I usually sit in the lawn for the cheap tickets). The fabric is a polyester suede, so hope it holds up well). I just sewed it inside out and turned it, inserted the batting, and will lightly quilt it (first time quilting with a machine, but it's just too thick to do easily by hand).

The second one is a baby quilt I made with a panel and coordinating fabric. I'll be hand quilting it, but I want to use grey thread and don't have it yet.

While I'm on hold with these two, I'm cutting an apron pattern. I'm using a Halloween fabric that has "jars full of gross stuff" to make myself an apron for canning. I think it will be a fun one to use.

Love your Weird Al quilt. My DH is a big fan of his and would love it too. The dragon panel is darling.

I always loved Als songs.lol. Cute baby quilt too. Can you post a picture of the canning jar fabric?

Love weird al! Well done!

BrendaK 09-09-2016 08:56 AM

I don't know Weird Al. So if you are pleased with what you did I am pleased for you. I love the second one. I also would love to see your "jars full of gross stuff". BrendaK

Thanks, everyone.

I have the Weird Al one basted, so hoping to quilt it tomorrow night (I'll quilt along the circles and the lines in the flag).

I'll take a photo of the jar material, but I found it at Joanne Fabrics (they don't have it online). The jars are filled with things like worms, spiders, vampire teeth, fish skeletons, etc. I can a lot, and some stuff can get really messy, so I've been wanting to make an apron.

I really like the dragon/knight/castle panel, so I bought a couple more for later. I wish my son was still little, it would have made awesome curtains for his bedroom!

The jar fabric...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]557870[/ATTACH]

It might be a little blurry, had to resize it so I could post.

I have fabric that just has the eyes (not in jars) to use for the contrast parts of the apron (bow, ties, pocket.)

Great job. Be sure to post the picture of your apron.

jamsbuying 09-09-2016 02:43 PM

Cute, cute, cute. Great job on both!

kwiltkrazy 09-09-2016 09:38 PM

Love weird Al. That's thinking outside the box.

jmoore 09-10-2016 03:02 AM

Nicely done...love the castle and little Knights.

Good work. I think the stone border fabric is perfect!

mjhaess 09-10-2016 10:21 AM

That is adorable.....

lawsonmugs 09-10-2016 11:50 AM

I finished the Weird Al quilt tonight. Quilting goes so much faster on a machine! It was almost too thick, but it fit.

I quilted around the head, the red circles, and around the flag, in addition to the lines you can easily see in the photo.
