House: Ravenclaw
Project Name & Page Link: A Moroccan Vibes Wedding Quilt
Brief Description: I made this quilt for two of my friends getting married this past March. Not only was I not sure I was going to finish it in time to mail it to them in time for their wedding; but during the quilting, my machine started making a horrible grinding sound while finishing the last block. I was playing a game of chicken with my sewing machine. I did manage to complete the quilting, but the machine completely locked up and stopped working while attaching the binding. Fortunately I was able to finish the binding by hand and sent everything off in time.

Project Name & Page Link: Grogu Plush
Brief Description: I sewed up this little fleece Grogu for one of my friends’ kiddo, when they were having a though time with school. I hoped that it would give them some comfort and a buddy to cuddle with when things got difficult.

That cakes looks divine!

Headmistress Jennie casts the House Points Charm!
Those quilts are amazing!
I do my piecing on an Eversewn Sparrow, and I do my quilting on a Brother 1500s. The Brother is a straight stitch only machine, with a metal housing. It sews fast and is a beast.
