Pixie Girls--FINISHED

Here they are!!! There are 2 that are finished so far! Quick sewers!!


This one is from Bunny. Go check out her blog. Very cute and she does a lot of fun stuff too. If you enlarge the picture you can see that she did ribbon instead of elastic at the top of the dress. They tie together (the front and back) and make a cute little bow!! how cute and easy is that!
I will make that an option i think on the pattern.



Check her out. This one is from Letty. It is written in Dutch but there is English at the bottom. So talented! Love the red bows. She added a little length on the legs to make her a bit taller. She is cute. and oh, she painted the details on her face instead of stitching them. Love the cute little eyes.
She did mention that she used a turner and so of course i went to Joannes to find one. I did and i haven't used it yet. I think it will work much better than using the crochet hook system i have going. Much quicker too.

There are still a few out there being finished or worked on. When i get those i will share some more.
Thanks for helping me out. Nothing like making something up, writting it, and then having others critique.


Have a great Monday everyone!

Scrappy Happy + PIXIE PATTERN

I have thought about it, mulled it over, contemplated, debated, and finally just gave up. If I wasn't happy, or a little hmmmm about what i made...then ......it isn't what i should send. Therefore I am happy to introduce everyone to the NEW scrappy Mini Quilt. I dug deep through my drawers of little scraps and i found some 1/2 square trianges. Sewed them together, made hour glasses with them all and look what i did!!

I decided it was a little busy, so i bordered the center 4 and then added the second border around it all. Sometimes i get too hung up on making it more cemetrical, or whatever. I have a hard time just going with the flow and letting it be busy.

So what do you think? better than the 1st? Well, just different. more scrappy....please? I got it backed and all quilted. Just need to add the label on the back. This was kind of fun.

I did the quilting on my regular machine. It was really pretty nice. I have a lot of control that way. It is small and that might be what is nice about too. I do like using the big girl, but for this small of a project no way.

Look what i got in return all ready:

That is the front.... It is very Denise Shmidt to me. Fun shiny, glossy, rough, smooth, textured fabrics. bunch of fun.

you'll never guess what she named it......

The label says "intentional Wonkiness" LOve It! by the Mad One...heee heee

Oh, the mad one also included a little pile of squares big and small to add to my collection of others fabrics. Maybe after i am done collecting them i will make a scrappy big quilt.

I will have to consult Quiltville for a scrappy, go with the flow, don't worry about rules kind of quilt.

PIXIE PATTERN

There was an inquiry on the Pixie Girl Pattern!!! thanks for remembering!! Today i spent a little time, hopefully finishing up the pattern. It is now finished and scanned and ready for some trials! If you would like to take the pattern for a test drive please leave a comment. i will give out like 3, 4, or maybe even 5.

I sort of copied the style of pattern from Black Apple. She did hers real basic and simple. I loved it. It is in Adobe reader Format and should be easy to print off. I will include a few pictures also. Please review the rules prior to submitting a comment.

Rules for testing :

1) you need to make a pixie. No hoarding the pattern and never producing! Promise??! Please make it in a reasonable time also. No 6 months later stuff.

2) you need to email me some feeback on this! I need the help i am sure....give me some tips, hints, something you would add too, change....you hated it....whatever... i don't think you will though---hate it.

3) you need to post a picture about it and give me credit! If all goes well i will sell them in my Etsy shop so spreading the word would be helpful. thanks in advance. :)

4) You promise to not copy and produce your own patterns to sell. thank you .....again.

i think that just about does it......
