Not Her First

It's Wednesday! Time for another update to the ever-slogging tale of the Outrunners. Yay!

What is this?

Because I cannot leave fabric alone around here.

Maybe the start of something new, we'll have to wait and see.

It's been a while since I've updated about this here!

Here!

Yay! It's been too long. I need to remember to mention it more often.

New quilt finished!

Man, I really need to get back into this again.

Anyway, my is finished!

Here it is! Done with the Origins by Basic Grey fabric line. I had a jelly roll of it sitting around for a while, and was glad I found another so I could make this!

I ended up naming it Caithe, because I cannot for the life of me remember the proper name for the pattern and it ended up being called "chains of Caithe" while making it, so why not? I'ma huge Guild Wars nerd anyway.

Anyway! The quilting on it was just your normal meandering stitches, with sharp corners and straight-ish lines. If I had it again to do over I would not have done it so small, because it took forever on my little machine.

Her backside is mostly just a solid yellow, aside from the little stripe of leftovers from the top. I ended up using leftovers for the binding too, so I ended up using pretty much every bit of fabric!

Then a bit of both the front and the back all at once.

I think I'm finally getting the hang of binding up quilts now, which is grand. Now to rest for a few days while I decide which project of the three(!) I have fabric for is next...

I'm back! Not that y'all knew I was gone, but... :B erf.

Comic's up!

Um... what else is going on...?

How about some goofy arts?



I've been replaying my Heart Gold pokemon game under the Nuzlocke ruleset. I've been taking notes with an eye to comicking it out when I'm finished. I'm not -finished- yet, but far enough ahead I think I'm okay to start working on that too. The trainer is named after a different character of mine, my Guild Wars paragon, so I ended up tweaking the design of the player trainer to more resemble her. Her costume is more the male's outfit, because erf the girl and her stupid overalls. I'm not sure about the hat, but we'll see. Maybe she'll lose that.

Gratuitous Pet Picture Friday

Sounds like a good thing to start up, anyway. I don't update this enough, and I need to start having things to put up, even if this is just a little personal blog.

So meet Bandit! The Seven Pound Wonder, Bandaroo, Bandito, so on and so forth. On his brand new bed! Sister was scandalized because the tag said "cat bed", but he's so small he fits it.

Under the cut, have some more pictures of the animals that inhabit my house!

Progress! Of sorts.

First! Happy Bastille Day! It's practically over now, but... yeah.

I haven't been able to do much work on this here lately, but here's a progress report on the Chains o' Caithe quilt.

I decided for this one to do an overall pattern to help push it back so you can focus on the fabric. And also to help make it sturdy, since I know it'll see plenty of use once it's done. Since there's so many squares and corners and the like, it's a squared-off meander!

The color of the yellow is way terrible here, but you can see the pattern a little better. The thread is a brown-orange-yellow color, which I think is nice with the brown-green-yellow fabric. You get a better idea of the yellow in the next shot.

Also man check out these sweet glasses I got in the mail! I've kind of become obsessed with this style of glassware as of late. I've been scouring the internet trying to find moremoremore at reasonable prices. This set here I scored for $10! Sweetness! 

...But I still want more. Mom is amused.
