Hi! I'm Ollie :) I reblog basically anything that catches my eye, so you might see a lot of Zorro, Basil Rathbone, old Hollywood movies, and the occasional obscure book series
Some tags I use:
my-stuff - projects or other stuff I'm working on
my-fic - fanfiction I've written
ramblings - random thoughts that pass through my mind
This is a sideblog so I can't follow people from here but I'm always available to chat!
1927 Summer illustrated by J.C. Leyendecker. From Art Deco, Avant Garde and Modernism, FB.
So I finally read The Curse of Capistrano and Don Diego is a fucking mood. Romance is too hard, full of nonsense and a waste of time. The times are hard. He just wants to sit and talk of music and poetry. Even his dad is like ‘please, please just do something a man your age would do! Get caught in a scandal! Go get drunk! Do something normal!’ And Diego is like ‘but that all is such a pain!’
He simply left out the fact that he’s fighting the government every night.
Only a matter of time before I animate for this Zorro itch, it's not slowing down. 😭

Just saw an old ig post in which someone claimed that Basil Rathbone's favourite book was The World's Illusion by Jakob Wasserman, so I wanted to find a source and I'm absolutely losing my mind because I can't find anything???

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Mad Doctor (Movie 1940) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: George Sebastien/Maurice Gretz Characters: George Sebastien, Maurice Gretz, Ida Sebastien (mentioned) Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, Set shortly before the start of the movie, Missing Scene, Unhealthy Relationships, Praise Kink, Rimming, Anal Sex, Blow Jobs, Murder (mentioned), dead wife, Coping with committing murder with sex Summary:
Another shiver ran through Maurice, this one decidedly less enjoyable. He had done it, then. After a week of dithering until it was almost too late, he had done it.
He had killed Ida Sebastien.
And then he had come to Maurice’s bed.
Happy 134th Birthday to Basil Rathbone!

Hexagon Quilt
This is the second time I've seen a video of this technique and this explanation is so clear! It does use more fabric than English paper piecing (EPP) but you end up with a double sided hexagon so don't have to source fabric for the backing.
I'm doing EPP at the moment but I have a hole punch to make the papers and just use leaflets and junk mail, so it doesn't feel wasteful. I don't think it's difficult either- in the video she mentions it's not for beginners, but I don't have that much experience with hand sewing or EPP and I've been finding it pretty easy so YMMV
I saw this video yesterday and was seized with the need to try it out immediately. Lookit my cute lil' hexagon baby!!
Here is what the backside looks like. OP notes this takes more fabric than paper piecing, but that excess fabric makes it already triple-layered. Besides not needing backing fabric, I don't think you'd need batting for this quilt at all. It's already thick and soft just from folding all that fabric into a hexagon.
Hexagon quilt tutorial video by tiktok user camelscrafts. Method:
Each hexagon begins as a 6" circle. camelscrafts does this by creating a paper template using a compass. According to the video, a 6" circle will create a hexagon that is 2.5 inches tall.
These hexagons are hand-sewn. Thread the needle.
With the fabric right side facing, find the center of the circle by folding it in half right sides together, then folding it in half again (wrong sides are facing). The top of the triangle shape is the center of the fabric circle.
Make a small stitch into the center of the fabric. The wrong side is still facing.
Unfold the circle. There will be a small stitch in the center.
Now the hexagon is created by folding the circle into itself: Take the needle to one of the edges of the fabric (it doesn't matter which one). Pull the needle through and pull the thread tight. This will fold down the fabric and create an edge of the hexagon. Crease the fold with your finger.
This fold has two corners, one at the top and one at the bottom. Put the needle into one of the corners and pull the thread taut. This will create another fold.
Continue this going around the circle until all of it is folded down, creating the hexagon. camelscrafts notes that the last corner pulled in may be a little bit "wonky" (no precise point in the corner) if the corners were not done precisely. However, that corner is pulled into the back, so is not visible from the front.
The hexagon is now formed. Sew around the folds in the middle of the circle to hold the folds in place. Tie off and cut the thread.
Attach hexagons to each other along the sides. With right sides together, whip stitch the sides together.

Home movies tend to be a bit fast, so I've slowed it down a little to make it look more natural
