Saturday Round-Up

Beetlejuice! I found a pix online, printed, traced and turned it into an applique.

Worked on Beetlejuice each night after work this week. I think it's going to one of those things you either like or hate. I personally like this - it amuses me greatly! But I guess some people will think it looks like a "dog's breakfast," as my Mom would say. But it takes quite a lot of fussing to put a dog's breakfast together, let me tell you! It all started with the black and white stripes. When I started messing around with the colours, it reminded me of the Beetlejuice colours. I was initially thinking of the movie, but then I remember the kids used to watch the cartoon, which was totally done in these bright, harsh colours - so I think that's maybe what I was remembering. In any event, a quick search on line confirmed my memory - these are the Beetlejuice colours and patterns!

Here's the haunted house - again, found a pix, but made this a bit wonky and did a pieced block.

Here's the long shot. You can see there are still quite a few places to "fill in the blanks." I'm not going to make it rectangular - it will be irregular around the edges. I can't imagine Beetlejuice in a regular rectangular quilt! What's missing? Maybe some sandworms!

I spent the better part of today loading up Harley with "Red or White" - the quilt top I made over the Christmas holidays. I'll start quilting it tomorrow. It's the biggest quilt I've made to date so it will take awhile to do all the quilting.

Finally - here is Kristie's STAR Air Ambulance quilt all done. She was delivering it to her Mom to put up for auction or raffle to raise money for STARs.
