Another Peek!

I have exciting news - the top, the whole top, of the quilt is finished! *yay* In this photo it's is missing the 3" border I got on tonight, but you get the idea... All that's left is to sew the front to the back, put the batting in, then tuft it a bit to keep it together. One thing is for sure, it is one crazy quilt...

Happy Stitching!

- Toadstools -

The next run of squares probably won't have much in the way of "stories" or descriptions. Long story short, I made patterns from photos of woodland creatures and such to accent the gnomes, and what could a gnome need more than some toadstools?!

- Gnome Backsides -

I decided to take a different approach to a few of the gnomes... and stitched their backsides. Some were just too cute from the back to pass it up. (Brunhilde *may* not make it into the quilt... I think I'm out of room... oh no!)

Happy Stitching!

This happy guy is another one that I can't take total credit for... I got the pattern on Etsy from Andrea Zuill's store Bad Bird (I also follow her blog over at Andrea Zuill's Blog.) She's an amazing artist and I love her updated spin on embroidery, great work.

- Grandpa Gnome -

This guy is one of my favorites and I have to admit that he's actually not one of my own designs. I feel that a big shout out to the creator of the pattern is due with this one... I follow Amiee Ray on Flickr and also at her blog, Little Deer Tracks, and she makes awesome gnome-art, that I love. Want a sweet blog to follow (in addition to this one, of course) then please, check her out too.

Happy Stitching!

*psst* (want to hear a secret... he's the center square of the quilt...) *yay*
