Seems like if I haven't been chained to my sewing machine, I've been chained to my drawing pads coming up with ideas that will eventually hit the sewing machine. So what's been keeping me so busy?
First up is the Linus Project Blankets. So far I've finished a total of 4, but I have another 19 tops finished. The hardest part about doing these has been trying to come up with ideas for each blanket since I want them to all be unique.
Second is the quilt I'm making for my bed. It's "geek" themed. Basically, that means I'm doing themed blocks from various geeky things I love, such as video games, TMNT, zombies, Ghostbusters, comic books, etc. My plans for one of the borders will be so awesome.
Third is a Star Wars quilted wall hanging. This started out as being a part of my geek quilt but due to trending topics on Twitter presented by @starwars and @bonniegrrl, I've decided to turn it into it's own thing. It's giving me an opportunity to use more artistic techniques that I won't be able to use on my bed quilt due to the uncomfortableness of sleeping on some of the materials.
Last, but not least, I've got a long line of plushies I've been working on (and selling at various shows) that I need to finish up and finally post on my Etsy account. Once I can get some good chunks of the first three things taken care of, the plushies will become more of a priority. I even have plans to do OOAK hand painted plushies for more of an artistic approach to the usual cutesiness I give them.
Back to daily grind!
