"Stark Night"

"Stark Night" my entry for the Game of Quilts competition being held at Spool with the BadAss  Quilters Society.  This is the Blood, Stone, Steel and Fire colorway using  Peppered Cottons in Flame, Charcoal, Garnet and Fog. The Sword was created using Lesley Riley's image transfer paper TAP onto the Fog colored fabric and fused. Stitching was added to enhance details. The eyes were thread painted, the compass was fused. The background quilting in different directions is for the "Stark" children who never seem to find each other.

"Mother Dearest"

"Mother Dearest" my entry for the Game of Quilts competition being held at Spool with the BadAss  Quilters Society.  This was the Mother of Dragons colorway using  Peppered Cottons in Saffron, Emerald, Oyster and Carbon. The emerald and saffron fabrics are fused onto the carbon, thread painting was added in the eye, and I used a Shiva paint stick around the dragon scales to add depth.

Bow Tie Drool Bib

Did you ever see a cute pattern and say "I have to make this"?  Well that's what I thought about this adorable bib. The instruction can be found here, and the pattern here.  Aiden will be the lucky gent to wear this, hope it fits, I don't have a model to try it on.
