Sweet Dreams Kirby Quilt - Desert Bus 2023

I wanted to mix it up from my usual FPP (foundational paper piecing) shenanigans, so I went off into the land of pixel quilting. But, I still had to have a little madness in it, so instead of small and detailed I went big and pink!!

This quilt is 100 x 105 inches, so slightly over a king sizeish and was made from about 10 200 1 inch squares. It would've been a nice even 10 000, but I accidently miscounted my columns in google sheets and added 2 extra ones to the far right side. Oops. But yeah, I filled cells in google sheets to make the design, often while waiting for simulations at work (don't tell my bosses) and then I matched the colours to my trusty kona colour card and we ended up here! It has something like 13 different shades of pink, which is great, because I love pink and I love Kirby.

I had to get this bad boy long armed too, as there was no way I was going to be able to get this through my domestic at home. It was the right choice the pale pink thread and quilting motifs are just so perfect.

Parting with this quilt was SO hard, I really loved it, but I hope this quilt is well loved in their new home too.

I've been knitting a thing! I've immediately gone off in to the deep end and decided to do an irregular double knit scarf, which has been a lot of fun to work on.

It's a self-drafted pattern for the 9 skulls of the houses from the Locked Tomb book series. With four panels completed so far, I'm happy to say that this project has been accepted in to the Desert Bus 2026 Craft-a-long, and will be available as a price of some sort during this years run.

Happy Desert Bus Week, everyone! Desert Bus for Hope 2025 starts this Friday, and I'm happy to have been able to participate in the craftalong again.

This year's project is a tribute to Qwerpline, one of my favorite of LoadingReadyRun's projects. Go check it out - but warning, it has made me nearly drive off the road from laughing more than once, so caution is encouraged if you listen in the car.

This quilt - "QWLTLine: A Tribute to Nsburg" will be up for silent auction starting Thursday November 20 at 6pm. Go check it out! And while you're there, go check out all the other amazing raffles and auctions, or just watch a bit, it's a great time.

Happy desert bus week to all that celebrate

I'm making like a spinoff of ETT with Depth Spelunking, Brainmold Cafe, Desert Bus and Nullscape(don't ask me why I chose these because I don't know), and I need help with the designs. I only have brainmold and nullscape right now

This is the Brainmold one

Looks like your brain has molded(I'm so funny)

I'm pretty happy with this one, if you looks hard enough there's like. Symbolism. That wasn't intentional but it does work.

I don't think I'll change very much but I thought I should add it

The Nullscape one

It had started as Nullscape but eventually I just started adding stuff

It looks really cool but it doesn't feel like nullscape, so I think I'll probably completely redesign this and use this for something else. Don't mind the fact that the weird hand thing is only on one side I'm not fixing it.

I haven't started the other two,but I'll probably the Depth spelunking one like some of the Expendable designs, because I think they're kind of similar and that's what my mental image of him looks like

I'll probably just make the Desert Bus one just a guy. Idek know why he's here

I might not even make a desert bus guy idk he doesn't really fit

My brother suggested I just make the Nullscape a pretty simple purple avatar with the grace wings and pocket bell and maybe the adrenaline heart and that'd probably work, I haven't tried that yet but I definitely will

I added the random spawn eye to the Nullscape guy because I have decided that this guy votes for the husk so often it's just because apart of him and so the other guys are like "come sit down with us" and then he dies to the husk and then respawns somewhere random and then they need to go look for him that is the only reason it is there other than the fact that it looks cool

Happy pride month btw

Using this as an excuse to mention the peak gender that is genderfluid

Brainmold guy is genderfluid yippee

Yes so I need names and design suggestions plez

I think I'll probably be posting a lot of these guys they make me happy I'm also curious to see how many people know about brainmold on tumblr

AH ONE MORE THING I NEED A NAME FOR THEM

Like they're endless torment trio what are these guys the. best buddies quad or something

Yes
