I realized I haven’t updated in a couple weeks! Here’s what I’ve been up to… There are 2 more quilts nearing completion, and a few kids quilt tops for charity in the works. As soon as I finish those off, it’s time to start crafting for Ada’s birthday, so hopefully there will be more to share soon.
Prompt/Challenge Title: Hut on the Rock
Project Name & Page Link: Black + Rainbow BOM Quilt
Team: Witch Weekly
Brief Description:
This lap quilt should have been easy. But I definitely kept adding to it, until it was officially over the top! Instead of 12 Blocks of the Month, I ended up adding to get to 16, then put in sashing and cornerstones. After that I decided to use up some of my stash of Leaders & Enders making a pieced border, and soon this ‘little lap quilt’ was 70" square! It now lives on the queen bed in The Abbeeroad Room (aka the Guest Room).
Prompt/Challenge Title: Leaky Cauldron
Project Name & Page Link: Apple Butter Muffins
Team: Witch Weekly
Brief Description:
I had a couple of small apples that had some dents and needed to be used up. While I was trying to decide what to make with them, I remembered that my MIL & FIL brought us some Apple Butter from an orchard near their house. So Apple Butter Muffins! I added some chopped pecans too, because I wanted to use them up. These came out HUGE. The pic doesn’t show it because of the angle, but they are super tall, fluffy muffins (especially surprising because I subbed in half whole wheat flour, which is usually a bit heavy. Highly recommend trying them!
Prompt/Challenge Title: Flourish & Blott’s
Project Name & Page Link: Mermaid Tote Bag
Team: Witch Weekly
Brief Description:
I whipped this up for the little girl who lives across the street, for her birthday. She’s just a few weeks older than Ada, and loves purple, so I used a purple mermaid Fat Quarter from my stash, and pulled scraps in matching colors to go with it. The back is entirely scrappy patchwork 2.5" squares in all shades of purple, pink, and turquoise.
