Just having fun! Creating Stickman Skelton FPP pattern for Halloween 🎃

WONKY TOWERS 1 🤩🏘
Eagle's Nest was my first FPP Tower. A steep learning curve getting it all correct in the quilt design software.
And when I thought I had done it all the right, and tested the block.... a few unrepeatable words were said 🤣

Choosing the names was a FUN exercise👏🤓

I added a border to give it even a bit more of a vintage feeling 😃

SEWPHIA and AIHPWES 😁

When you know it's one of your favourite patterns before you even have it! So I had this plan to do a fun second one. Meet Aihpwes the Inverted Mirrored Sewphia 🤩

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE 😃

From 10 -13 April, I was at the AQC 2025 in Melbourne. Invited to help on the Legit Kits(Eppiflex) stand and presenting a seminar on Legit kits patterns. Many like minded people and the best laughs 😂 Visiting the beautiful quilts in the exposition. So inspiring!

SHOWING I AM A FAN 💃

Excited! Next week I will be travelling from NZ to Australia to assist at the Australian Quilting Convention promoting Legitkits. What better way to show that I am a FAN than to walk around in a Legitkits pattern? 🤩

If you happen to visit the AQC, find me 😄

BLANKS ? 🙃

When buying a FPP pattern only, I like to play with the colours. I hardly ever do the same as the pattern. I mirror, change value, make colours brighter or duller.
And then I thought about my own patterns.....🤔

Should I add blanks to colour in?

#quiltsky #etsyshop

😊 thank you

🤣

😂 and not to mention some unfinished pieces of clothing, cross stitch and knitting 🤪

NOT SURE 🤔

Procrastination, mindset not ready or not my favourite part...? Whatever the reason, my Wonky Towers have been in this state for months. Ready to be quilted but not really happening.
Could also be that I am excited about my new Halloween patterns 😁

Do you recognise this?

#quiltsky

I love it as is 😀 yes a lighter thread would have been different (but not necessary better)

LAYOUT PUZZELING 😀

I loved playing around with the layout of these 16 Wonky Towers. Seeing what combination works the best colour, shape and wonky-ness wise. This is my row 1 of 4 blocks.

Do you puzzle on different layouts in your quilts?

#quiltsky #quippyquilts #wonkytowers

🤩 Stunning, I love all the fabrics

WILL IT WORK ? 🤔

I am always a bit nervous to see if a block comes together as I imagined. And in stead of waiting till its finished I put all pieces together like this to have a 'sneak-peek". 👀

Most of the time I am happy, and sometimes it's a 'that will work' 😜

Do you do sneak-peeks?

#quiltsky

Beautiful 🤩

HUGE FAN 😍

Next to creating my own digital Wonky Towers patterns, I am a huge fan of Legitkits FPP patterns. I started as a tester for them and now I am hooked. Buying pattern only gives me the freedom to play with colours.

Are you into mythical creatures?

EAGLES'S NEST 🦅

Can you really see Eagle's Nests from the top of this Wonky Tower? Depending where you imagine it's location. I like to fantasise about places and landscapes to 'build' the Towers in.
It's so much more then just making a pattern.

Do you let yourself wander sometimes?

FISHING 🦈

No I don't fish at all 🤣 This was a project for a school Art Action for my kids. Living near the sea a lot of the locals are into marlin fishing. I had great fun making this collage quilt and it sold nicely 🤑.

Have you made quilts to help a school?
