This is where I gave up on my first challenge piece for Project Quilting Season 16. I didn't really give up. I just decided that I was not going to be able to get it finished in the time allotted while staying true to the vision. I did not want to compromise on what I think is going to be a really cool quilt.
Not a lot of story here. I just started drawing, digitizing and stitching cryptids. I actually drew 12 of them and digitized 11. I only stitched out 9. (Unicorns are hard). I kept stealing cryptid ideas from Challenge quilt chat. Anything was easier than that elusive unicorn.
I know the rough sketch of the Very Shy Monster who lives under the bed and collects happiness to save for a gloomy day doesn't exactly look like the sketch. I figure turnabout is fair play. I can't ever draw what I see in my head. SO it is only reasonable that I can make what I sketch in fabric.
A Very Shy Monster. No bed. No zipper. But I might start making tote bags with him on them. Anyone want one?
Nessie. Just a bit of her. Because, unlike the shy monsters who will jump out and hug you if they like you, Nessie is camera shy.
So camera shy that by the time I got her in focus, all I could see what a bit of her tail.
Cthulu. Again just a glimpse as he swam out of sight.
CT is a lot more steam punk than I knew,
The Nine Tailed Fox.
Yeah, I'm not crazy about the fabric either but I had to use stash and I am woefully lacking in brown and orange and anything else that looks like fox,
