Harry Potter bookcase quilt block 11 Hedwig

I've made the smaller version of Hedwig lots of times.  This time I made her with a light grey muzzle and curly feathers on her chest. The white on white is a fireworks pattern. 

Since the book is red and gold I'm thinking it'll be a book not mentioned on any list... Famous Gryffindors of the 20th Century. (All thousand years of them wouldn't all fit in a book.)

You can still join up with the QAL. See the Fandom In Stitches button on the right.
There was a choice this week of Malfoy's Eagle Owl or Pigwidgeon, Ron's owl, or Errol the Weasley's family owl, or this one of Hedwig.

Really enjoying the making of these bookcase blocks. Thanks for running the QAL again, Jennifer.
 
Happy Weekend to you all,
Terri

Happy St. Paddy's Day

I've been raiding the archives of my previous posts for green things I've made, in order to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.... I AM IRISH - just like most of us. 
So here's a bit o'green for you to enjoy, and I'll be linkin' this post up to Val's Tuesday Linky Party.

This is the Bowtruckle from Harry Potter blocks at Fandom In Stitches - my favorite place for free paper piecing patterns.



And this Palm Leaf, I paper pieced in lots of other colors. I sooooo enjoyed making the blocks, but once they were put together, there are so many hard lumps where seams come together... It's a UFO right now. (I don't remember where I got the pattern... it was a free one, I know that and it's called Red Herring, I think.)



This is the wrong colored Felix Felicis I made from the Fandom In Stitches pattern.( Really shouldn't good luck be green rather than golden?) Anyway, I'm wishin' you all the best of the Luck of the Irish... today and always.

Hugs,
Terri

POD # 10 and another butterfly mistook

These are the Standard Books of Spells for levels 1-6 (Harry Potter didn't go to the 7th year). I just bought that speckled fabric last week and it just seemed right for a set of books that would be handled carelessly. Notice each year is a different color... One of these days I'm going to have to add titles, somehow.


And this is another mutant butterfly. I didn't have time to finish it last week... When I came back to it I thought it only needed #9 and #10 pieces added.  I forgot to put on the #8 pieces on each side. Oh well, individuals will vary.  I might make more of them this way.

Have a sew wonderful week.
Hugs,
Terri

POD #9

Some how I got my books going the wrong way, and I didn't notice until I was done with the Snitch section. So I fixed it the easiest I could and put the A and F pieces on the one side. I like the look, and that's all that matters to me.

I
I made a Papa Book, Mama Book and Baby book... Dad has the oldest pages, then Mom and baby has the cute cover and lightest pages.  The little guy is a chip off the old man... his pages bend into the middle, whereas Mom's do not. Close up (below) so you can see the aged pages.
 
 
Hope you are having a grand weekend.
 
Hugs,
Terri
