Death Head Pattern by Andrea Zuill
It’s the time of year when a young girls fancy turns to skulls. You see, once upon a time, English puritans commonly used dark, bone laden imagery much like the Mexican culture. But, alias, we are now in mellower times. Gone are the dark clothes (goths excluded), death heads, ascending souls and the single eye of god painted on the church pulpit. Those where such happy times. Sigh……
Enjoy your Death Head.
Badbird Embroidery Pattern by Andrea Zuill
Wow, that last month went fast! At my Flickr Group, Badbird’s Patterns, I received the suggestion that I should create a angry, evil little bird pattern. Why didn’t I think of that before! I base my whole life on small irritated birds. Making a pattern of my alter ego should have been a no brain-er.
Like usual, please click on the image above to get the full size pattern.

A bit early for my monthly pattern, but here it is. This idea is one of the suggestions from my Flickr group Badbird’s Patterns.
Giddy99, I’m sorry I haven’t done a snake or firefly yet. Idea’s just haven’t popped into my head yet.
I am in a sparkly, twinkly mood today. In honor of these feelings I have created a Unicorn Sampler, for sale at my Etsy store: Badbird’s
Work Quilt #2 by Victoria Gertenbach, aka Silly Boodilly
I was innocently thumbing through my current Quilting Arts Magazine, June/July 2010, issue 45, when I came across a article written by a person named Victoria Gertenbach. This Victoria was clearly trying to pass herself off as my web friend Silly Boodilly. After a moment of confusion and deep thought it dawned on me that Victoria and Silly where the same people. I never remember a persons real name. I mean, who’s Mama would name their kid Silly Boodilly? Not a very good Mama, that’s who. Web names and the names of people’s pets is what I remember. Real names never.
So please, if you haven’t already, go get the newest Quilting Arts Magazine and check out VICTORIA’S article, Stitching from the Soul / Laying the past & present. She tells of her inspirations and goes into detail regarding her quilting technique.
Oh, I almost forgot, I was looking through the contributors of Quilting Arts Magazine and I found the name of another friend of mine, Jane LaFazio. She is a San Diego based quilt artist, and teacher. She also beat me at getting into the Quilt Visions show. I might forgive her for this since she is the one that got me started in teaching quilting and embroidery.
I love name dropping.
