As I have explained in a previous post this household is on a budget, which means when I get a project in mind I don't have the luxury of making a shopping list and heading to Michael's or JoAnn's Fabrics..I enter the world of the garage. My garage is where things get stacked, stashed, crammed and jammed and to be completely honest it isn't happening only in my garage, I will put things in drawers, trunks, bins, cabinets, and whatever else I can find if I think it will be of use some day. About 4 years ago Christmas was looking fairly grim, I just had to find that perfect something for my oldest..sounds easy enough right? NOOOOOOO!!! My oldest has always been my anti-child, if I like it she doesn't, if I think I created something super cool she hates it, it took her 17 years to finally start seeing her inner nerd and I am thankful it finally happened. Back to my little tale of woe, one day out of the blue she announced that she would like a Mario blanket for her room *WHAT?*
can I do that?
can I make a blanket?
my sewing skills are okay but that seems like a big project...so I scoured the internet and found a picture
http://blog.missouriquiltco.com/super-mario-brother-quilt-pattern-free-of-course/ and the attempted to follow using whatever material I had at the house and made this
my first quilt, will I do it again? I did one more ... here it is under construction , you can see I was scrounging for red material..
well there you have it a couple of blast from the past projects !
and yes it is a mandalorian skull from Star Wars, I also made pillow shams
however my lack of measuring created a quilt that will fit no bed ever, but it will tent a house if needed.
