I am going to attempt to QAYG. I don't usually post pics of WIPs, but I'm glad I did, as I was apprehensive as to how it was turning out. But it actually looks okay. I was worried about too much black space.

Love the bookshelf quilt, MM! It looks great against the black background. And it must be for a Beauty and the Beast fan. Love your Mrs. Potts. Those quilts are so much fun to personalize.

That would be darling, Joan. I saw one somewhere years ago with a pack of cats on the shelves with the books. It was wonderful.

It is for my fellow English/Special Ed teacher friend who was also my carpool partner for a couple of years. We were known to break out in Disney songs without warning. As far as a pattern, I requested a row by row pattern from a shop in Washington state that was a bookshelf, I scoured the internet for anything I could find, and then designed my own. I had been stalling because I wasn't sure what I wanted, but one day, I sat down with graph paper and was finished in less than 30 minutes.
Mrs. Potts is printed from my plain old HP ink jet printer on a piece of white cotton fused to double sided fusible web. I printed it on plain paper, then taped the fused cloth over the picture and re copied it. I colored it with fabric markers and pressed it to set the ink. As easy as pie!

Thanks for all the nice words. (Should have said that first) My mama would be so disappointed.

Fandom in stitches is always doing a POD, the last one was Harry Potter I believe. They have lots of fandom patterns including Disney.

Yesterday I finished binding the last 2 tops I quilted then a friend asked if I would quilt 4 of her tops for the charity. She will gave batting and backing ready to go and quilts are only 40 by 60. Told her as long as she wasn't in a hurry no problem. Love getting the practice

Driving to a charity retreat close to Omaha Nebraska next Thursday. It's about 6.5 hours away. Will be the furthest I have ever driven by myself and have been told it's a very boring drive. Still looking at it as an adventure �� Might stop at a few quilt shops even though I don't need more fabric to break the trip up
