Some Supervision May Be Required

Now that I know it’s been accepted for this year's Desert Bus, here’s a preview of what I’ve been working on for the past few months - a wall hanging of the grey warden’s symbol from Dragon Age.

Happy Desert Bus Week, everyone! Desert Bus for Hope 2025 starts this Friday, and I'm happy to have been able to participate in the craftalong again.

This year's project is a tribute to Qwerpline, one of my favorite of LoadingReadyRun's projects. Go check it out - but warning, it has made me nearly drive off the road from laughing more than once, so caution is encouraged if you listen in the car.

This quilt - "QWLTLine: A Tribute to Nsburg" will be up for silent auction starting Thursday November 20 at 6pm. Go check it out! And while you're there, go check out all the other amazing raffles and auctions, or just watch a bit, it's a great time.

Everyone meet my newest quilt, Frank the Protest Frog

I finally got around to replacing my garden gate, which has been broken and too dry-rotted to fix for over a year now.

Left: the old gate; note the dead rosemary plant, which is the only thing holding it shut, since the latch isn't attached; the piece of wood sitting on top keeping it shut the other direction; and some slightly bent, slightly rusty hinges. Not pictured: the fact that the "frame" is really just a "z" shape of wood and has no vertical bracing whatsoever; the thoughts and prayers that are the only thing holding it up

My question is: Would you be up for sharing/selling the pattern? It's an amazing piece and we love the Horizon games, and we'd love to have it in our home.

Thank you so much! I am also surprised it went for so much (in a very good way). Desert Bus is painful that way, I also had a couple items I wanted to bid on but went way past my budget. At least it's more money For The Children!

Unfortunately I don't really have a pattern to share. The individual logos are paper pieced, but I don't feel comfortable sharing them; they have some issues that had to be fixed on the fly and aren't labeled or particularly coherent. And the quilt as a whole doesn't have a pattern at all, I cut/pieced fabric to fit the space as needed.
