"Sheroes" Quilt!

 

Wonderwoman was my childhood hero. She (and some of her pals from the Justice League) used to be my invisible friends too. 

But um, I'm over that now. 

Ahem.

For the next generation. It was pretty spectacular.

I first found this amazing fabric a few years ago; but it languished until I found the 'right' idea for it.

I'm sure you do that too; that 'special' fabric you find and then it sits...sometimes for years.....

All the Girls are here. Batgirl, Supergirl, AND Wonderwoman.

As always, I use an African Wax Print in a black and white.

Also found this new geometrical print; so I've added that in .

I always reinforce the corners; especially on quilts I know kids will be using a lot.

Alternating the colours of turquoise, bright reds, and light and dark grey in the star blocks.

Here are the finishes! These are available in the shop, allow 2-3 weeks for completion!

This is the Baby version; it's about 3.5 x 3.5

The Twin sized!

CHANGES!

Cha-cha-chaaanges....♪♫♪....LOL Now I've got you humming some David Bowie.......

 Here are some BEFORE photos::

My Inspo board. I hung these giant corkboards myself. Didn't go so well; they aren't too stable. They'll be coming down.

Super excited.

Just before Christmas, we (finally) replaced the old bunk beds in my sewing room with a futon.

I know, I know. But we needed something that was compact, that had storage underneath and could still function when we have guests. (And it was on sale, so there was that)

I have a ton of photos from shows I've done and places I've been, plus art work; they all need to be rearranged and into proper frames. 

Tons of family photos & momentoes.

One of my Christmas gifts from my amazing husband and partner in crime...is a custom made sewing desk. To my specs. AND most importantly; my height. I'm 5'8" with long legs so normal height desks I'm still hunching over when cutting...and that's important when you're cutting and trimming for days.

How my desk was set up. Crammed into a corner and no space.

I scoured Pinterest & other such design blogs to really decide what I needed. And then got lost for HOURS on there. (Anyone else do that? You're laughing at me right now aren't you...) I now also have serious plans for redoing our back deck LOL.

Tons of WIPS just sorta....shoved in.

My fabric is folded (ish) into colour order fabric bins. These shelves are a bit wobbly and some will be replaced.

Too much clutter. This photo was taken during spring clothes clean up. It's not usually THIS bad I swear.

Add in the fact that we were already putting in new windows on our second floor; more light? PERFECT!

In the home stretch.... CANNOT wait to show you my New Sewing Room!

In order to cut and design fabric; I had to set up and tear down each time a portable folding table.
