Here is all my Harry Potter Blocks so far. I did several of them myself and the rest are from a swap in 2007. I still have several patterns that I want to do....



Here is my wool quilt that I finally finished a couple of weeks ago. It is all done by hand. Everything! It took about 10 months to complete working with it on and off. I love it so much! I added pics of my last few blocks that I haven't put on here yet! It is tied and not quilted. It is just so thick. I can't imagine trying to quilt it.




I will be post more pics eventually. I hope you enjoy!

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me. My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

- No guarantees that you will like what I make.
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done sometime this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story, a CD, something blinky or shiny. I may draw or sculpt something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to repost. We can all make stuff!

 Happy Birthday alabastardragon !!!!! May you have many more!!

I did a swap with www.art2mail.com
I had to make 24 of them!!
Here there are....

"Pineapple delight"
 

"Playful Kittens"


"Middle East Nights"

 

"Grandma's Quilts"



"Buttons and bows"

Let me know you think!!

Last week I got 5 more postcards done for my swap! I named the series Buttons and Bows. I am just finally getting to posting it!! I loved the fabric but never got around to doing anything with it. This was 7 years ago! I finally figures what to do with it!



And I have some more ATC up for swap 3 are taken already by 3 of flist that don't even know it yet...lol That would be hardhatcat, ofenjenand dragonsinger954. So that means I have 3 more up for trade. They are called "the good ole' days" as when ofenjenmade a reference when you could get HP merchandise anywhere...lol I so love that reference....lol



I also finished my ATC for the HP_crafter swap!  I made 16 of them and have 4 left over to share to! I worked so hard on these and everything has a meaning to it. The theme is your favorite HP family.

The back ground of each one is patched together with all my tiny scraps of left over fabric, this is represents the family and how they also make do with what they have. I can imagine Molly making a quilt like this for her family. Then is the mailbox represents Author's love of muggle things, notice that it has flowers growing out of it. Some how it got charmed....lol And the star represent all the magic around the family. And the stitching around the edge around the ATC is red and yellow for the Gryffindor house colors and how each family member was in Gryffindor! I loved making these! They were so much fine and time consuming! I have 4 left if you wanna trade!

Ok so I was sewing and had the window open and I could here some weird stuff. so I turned off the tv and I heard a bebe hit the house right by the other window. So I told my hubby and he called the police. They came over and looked and saw the damage and said the only way for that window to be busted was from their yard. So he went over and talked to them them see how to work it out. He went to see if they would admit it or not. They did and after the police left the boy and his mom came over to aplogize and said they did know it happened. So my husband and I agree to split the cost with them because it was an accident and they fessed up and were willing to pay. They were willing to pay it all but hubby told me when he was kid he shot out the neighbor's window too and had the police called on him. So we are going to just go to the home depot and check out window. he said he doesn't know how to install himself so we are going to have to do that too.  i am so glad he delt with it!! I was a total pyscho today!! I was so upset and not happy....lol. The kids kept getting to stuff! Thanks for all the advise!! I am so glad I have a great flist list!!

I have two sets!!

The first series is called Autumn's Blossom



And the second series is called Parisian Spring 



Let me know if you have a fabric ATC or other ATC you would like to swap for one of mine. Just let me know which set and number you would like to trade with. Don't mind my spelling errors on the photos :P

I know I wanted to do a swap for fabric postcards!! One of my quilters told me about this site!! I have joined it!! We only need 4 more people!

Just to let everyone know that my email replies to livejournal have been going to spam!!! I am now fixing that but has been doing it for weeks and I never knew it!! I just thought none of my friends wanted to comment back!! And a few of your posts having been going to spam!! So I am not catching up on it!! I am so frustrated!! I was looking for an email from my doctor that I should have gotten yesterday in spam and saw all these!! AHHHHHHH....lol 

Gacked from everyone!!

That is totally me!!!

The last time I went to my quilter group they had been showing off their quilted ATC's (artist trading cards) and quilted postcards!! I fell in love! But I had non to swap with!! I was quite sad....lol Then one of the quilters there loves to wool like me. I mentioned that I could cut some squares for her because I have a huge tupperware box full of sweaters all cut up and ready to go. So Friday I go to the mail box and she sent me a fabric post card!! I am so in love!! they are so cool!!

 




So I was wondering if any of my flist would like to do a swap? This is a great way to use fabric that you love without making a whole blanket. 
Here are some great links for how to do it!!
