I have joined a mystery quilt that is making alphabet blocks. My goal this month was to catch up on the blocks for that quilt. I can only post the blocks in the closed group. I plan to sew my blocks together spelling "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". This is one of many standard typing sentences that used all the letters of the alphabet. This creation was inspired by a graphic I found on Pinterest. I tried to find who created the original graphic design or to fine out if it was copyrighted material. I have not found out that information. I have ordered some Tim Holz Correspondence fabric because it uses a large typewriter image. I want to use that in my quilt as well. I will work on my lazy dog block next month.
Here are my sketches for my quick brown fox and my lazy dog, I used my machine stitches to make the claws and I am still deciding if I need to put a background strip between the "T" of the head and the "h" of the body. I do need to find out more about adapting designs from other media to quilts. What is legal...what is accepted practice for annotating your quilts. Any advice will be appreciated. This is also inspired by Kim Hartman quilts. My sister made one recently for a baby gift. It was stunning. My next goal this month was to finiansh my baby quilt.
This was so much fun. I used a panel from my stash that I bought at a local quilt show. I encourage attending the local shows and supported the local vendors. I need them to stay in business. The show had a few local vendors. I bought some hand dyes from one and the panel that I cut apart for this quilt from another. I also made the changing mat that is on top of the quilt. I used a free pattern that I changed up a bit.
I Used a piece of fleece lined vinyl and decided to use very little quilting to join it to the top.
The pocket at the bottom holds the wipes and diapers. It folds up with a strap closure.
I also am working on making the Bonnie Hunter Blocks for On Ringo Lake. I feel good about my finishes since I was away from home quite a bit this month,
