Project Name & Page Link: Scrappy Diamond Trip Quilt Top
Brief Description: This quilt design has long stripes, like those of the Greek flag. It was also a great way to use up all the brown 2.5" strips in my stash, along with some brown yardage. I just picked up backing & batting, and can’t wait to quilt this one.

Project Name & Page Link: Folded Corners Quilt Block
Brief Description: This is September’s BOM for the Quiltalong. The block design is an optical illusion. If exectued well, you can see the black pattern folded up and around at the corners, to reveal the grey on the ‘back’ of the black. I made it out of my ever growing stash of Halloween prints to add to my eventual Halloween quilt.

Project Name & Page Link: Scrappy HST Pillow Top
Brief Description: In making the quilt above, you cut off triangular corners between the brown strips and the turquoise squares. I did an extra row of stitching, so that each corner that got cut off became an extra Half Square Triangle. Each one was just under 2", and they weren’t exactly square. Since they were so small, I didn’t bother to actually square them up. I just embraced the scrappy wonkiness. Or at least I tried to. My OCD little heart really likes perfectly straight lines, and perfectly matched points. This usually isn’t a problem for me because I cut straight and then sew straight. I might have disliked putting this piece together, but I am happy with how it came out. I alternated rows of dark brown and light brown diamonds to add some drama.

Project Name & Page Link: Apple Crisp
Brief Description: I always look forward to the first Apple Crisp of the season. This one happened by accident. My carefully selected, perfect apples, were tossed around by the store clerk, and 3 of them came home bruised. DH is an apple connoisseur, and doesn’t eat bruised apples. So crisp to the rescue!

(And yes, there are also fancy cookies in the house to accompany Biscuit Week. I just didn’t make them myself.)

I thought your bath bombs was marshmallow! Lots of nice crafts you have done!

Thank you! Funny story about those marshmallows, my son (13) saw them and and knew he shouldn’t but he just had to lick one. Instantly regretting his choice. I didn’t use any harmful chemicals so it wasn’t dangerous, doubt it’s as strong as the other recipes but it sounds better for the environment

This Term of the HPC is now CLOSED!
Your Headmistress is currently entertaining the lovely @Abbeeroad and @sheepBlue, (and we’re even playing a craft themed board game called Arch Ravels right now!), so I will not be announcing the winning House until tomorrow afternoon, or perhaps even Monday morning. In the mean time, please enjoy our new Yule Term.
