Finished some stuff!

Let's be honest, most of the crafty things I show here on the blog are things that are half-finished, or not even that. But this week I managed to finish some simple items and actual remembered to write about it too. Pictured above is some lettering I designed (and embroidered) to go with the Fly me to the Moon Embroidery Pattern.

The second item I finished in the past few days was Luna's lap quilt. A cute blanket to snuggle under when she is watching tv or something. Nothing spectacular: a simple pattern and simple straight line quilting. I do prefer more densely, free motion quilted quilts but after two failed attempts I decided to do 'off the grid' straight lines. Un picking quilting isn't much fun... I have a similar quilt for Zoe that is nearly finished too, just need to make and sew on the binding. :)  Most of the fabric I used for Luna's quilt is from Lizzy House's Outfoxed line of fabric.

The stunning cat-with-quilt photo I had in mind didn't happen, Milo's thoughts were elsewhere I guess!

Tap dancing Polar Bear in Stitches

You already met this talented bear the other day, starring on my very first fabric design and this is the embroidered version. PDF pattern will be available some time in the next couple of weeks as a set together with a smaller design!

This was one of the first sketches of the Dancing Bear. It is somewhat related to this tiny Bear portrait embroidery I did earlier this year. For some reason the brown bear turned into a  Polar Bear along the way. It is so hard to get motivated tap dancing, multi-coloured scarf waving Polar Bears to model for you though... ;)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! 

P.S. the fabric I used for the embroidery is Pretty Little Things Jada by Dena Designs for Free Spirit Fabrics.
