Biochemkris' Crafty Corner
 
I wanted to get the ball rolling with these threads so, I don't have much yet but, I'd like to show off one my first HP projects which was a Slytherin Quilt I made for EmmaRiddle. I made the pattern up myself and once I find it and type it up, I'll probably post it for others to use (I had planned on creating all four houses but, I got pregnant and moved and don't have the space for quilting anymore).

Nice use of colours and patterns. Looks really cool!

I want one too! :o
great quilt!

marfamarfa 10-12-2007 04:50 PM

Wow! That's beautiful! Is it hand-pieced and sewn, or did you use a sewing machine?

Biochemkris 10-12-2007 11:53 PM

Oh, I definitely used a sewing machine (you can see part of it in the background tee hee). I wouldn't be patient enough not to use a sewing machine. :lol:

Oh my gosh, Kris, are you serious? Tha't s awesome! I used to loveeee to do stuff like this, and that quilt's inspiring me to pick it up again.

Did you ever give it to Emma? Luckyface. *pokes*

Biochemkris 10-14-2007 03:51 AM

Yes, I did give it to her. In person, even. She says she uses it a lot. :D

seekeraim 10-14-2007 04:33 AM

Gorgeous! Great job on it. How long did it take you to sew it all up.

Awesomeness. I wish I could do quilts like that. My mom knows how, but she doesn't like to make things for me unless it's absolutely important xDD

That amazes....

Taking Back Kirstie 10-14-2007 08:59 AM

That is an awesome Quilt Kris.

Little Trooper 10-14-2007 05:14 PM

I so love the quilt. I so want to make something like that. Do you have a pattern at all if you don't mind me asking.

Slytherin Fox 10-14-2007 11:12 PM

Awesome, amazing quilt! The workmanship is so beautiful! Thanks so much, Kris, for sharing it with us here!

Oh gosh, I can't really remember right now. The design took a while but, once I had that I used some of my mother in-law's tricks so it didn't take too long to piece together.

Mary Ann's Tips: To make a lot of those smaller blocks I sewed long strips of the two colors together and then just cut the strips up to create the blocks. Then, when you do triangles, you just make a center line on a block and sew to either side of the line, then cut down the line to create two blocks of two triangles. It doesn't seem like it would save much time but, it really does (especially when you're doing a lot of them).

I do have a pattern. It's in my closet with the pieces for my own Slytheirn quilt that I was going to make after I got back from visiting Emma. Needless to say, it's still just bits and pieces. I'll try and get it typed up for you after I finish this crochet poncho I'm working on for my grandmother's 80th birthday. :)

Princesspotter1234 10-15-2007 04:02 PM

Wow!!!That is just so awesome,Kris.
My mom and my grandma are very good at this sort of thing,but I am rubbish at it.I wish i could do something this good,though!!!
I'm going to tell my mom to make me a gryffindor one like this.

It's just beautiful. :D
