Can’t believe its September already. This year has gone so
fast. Ian and I have our birthdays in a
week and you know you are getting old when your son turns 23 and is buying his own
place. We had a meeting yesterday with
the loan officer and everything is approved and now just has to go to
escrow. Ian and I have accomplished so
much in the last three weeks. The
closing is September 26th and he will be moving in on the 28th.
I found a photo on my camera of the dress that I made Catherine.
It was not complete when I took this you
can see pins on her shoulders but better than no photo. I still managed to get quite a bit of sewing done this week. I finished the fourth Chateau Hexagon block. It came in the mail on Saturday and I had it done before I went to bed that night couldn’t help myself.
I have made a little progress on the second block to my house quilt. Sill quite a lot of sewing to do on this one.
Monday my husband went fishing and the kids went to PAX so I
had the house to myself and I decided to put the top together for my Betsy’s
Closet quit. I forgot how nice the
fabrics I picked were they have been sitting in a bin waiting to be made in to
something for months now. This photo is
kind of strange because I had it over another quilt on my design wall. I will have to take better photos of this it’s
so cute.
Lastly my Dr. Who quit center is complete and I started
working on the border.
I wanted to share with you a few photos of my daughter
Chloe. She made this costume for PAX
this weekend. It’s the character Alice
form a video game. The blood is just
paint no real killing going on. I think
she did such a great job making this character come to life. I took the close
up of her so you could see her eyes she used contacts to make her eyes a
different color.
Ok everyone have a wonderful week. I’m going crazy over everyone’s Love Entwined
quits.
Regards,
Lisa
I love your daughter's cosplay! I'm also a cosplayer and make my own costumes, just as a sort of side project, it's so fun! She did an incredible job on Alice, I'm sure she was a total hit at PAX!
ReplyDeleteLove the Doctor Who blocks.
ReplyDeleteChloe did an awesome job with Alice - the coloured contacts really completes the costume.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I really love the Betsy's Closet quilt top. That would be so perfect for a baby shower for a little girl.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dress!! Did you make up your own pattern as well?
ReplyDeleteI started with a pattern but had to make a lot of alterations due to Catherine being so short. I also changed the construction methods because most of the patterns you buy don't have you use steel boning. Chloe completely drafted the Alice Pattern herself, but that is what she went to college for. She is going to start drafting a pattern for me for an Eleanor Dress (The mom in the Brave movie) She will be doing Merida and we will were them at Comic Con this spring.
