Story Book Teddy Bears

Story Book Teddy Bear Quilt Pattern | Whims And Fancies

Purchase Storybook Teddy Bear Pattern

I would love for you to meet my Story Book Teddy Bears. They are two sisters. They are in charge of all the stories that are being written at this very moment by people all over the world. Of course, that would be too much work for just one little bear. So they divide this enormous job between the two of them.

She takes care of the stories between the sunrise and sunset.

Her little sister then takes over while she rests a little.

I designed my little story book teddy bear quilt patterns on request, just before Christmas. I couldn’t resist making them afterwards.

As I finished making one of them, the thought of the other one suddenly occurred to me. I suppose such is the way of story book bears.

Stories can be told in so many ways. I love to tell stories through paintings.

Daniel Smith Watercolor | Whims And Fancies

I picked up these three paints – Quinacridone Gold, Moon Glow and Indanthrone Blue. I love the name Moon Glow.

Here is a sketch I finished in December. I really wanted to paint this picture, and I also really wanted to use those colours. Not a perfect match, but it was fun to use some unusual colours for the painting.

I see myself walking toward the viaduct despite the stormy sky.

We all have the power to weave a little tale of our own. The little bears are muses, giving us a little nudge now and then. If you want to make a story bear, the 10″ pattern is available on my shop.

Happy Storytelling,

Bits And Pieces

Derwent Watercolour Pencils | Whims And Fancies

With the approach of October, one of my favourite months, I find myself in the flightiest of moods. Sitting with anything for long is a chore and the thought of finishing anything seems an impossible task. My otherwise tidy desk is now a mirror image of my brain. This is true except for one thing- books! A book is the only thing that can still pin me down for hours on end.

Freedom and Read Quilt Pattern | Whims And Fancies

Purchase Freadom Pattern

This week is Banned Books Week, an event sponsored by the American Library Association. I am lucky enough to celebrate my freedom to read and think independently every day. This FREADOM quilt I made last year is possibly my most favourite piece! You can read about the story behind this mini here.

Dryburgh Abbey With Derwent Watercolour Pencils | Whims And Fancies

Other than travelling in the pages of my books, I also travel by means of painting places I have visited before. I love Derwent pencils. I already have a set of their Inktense pencils and recently I was gifted a set of the Derwent Watercolour pencils. I am trying them out on this sketch of Dryburgh Abbey.

Hexagon Quilt | Whims And Fancies

I pulled out my Hexagon quilt again. After having made a little over 2000 hexagons, sadly, I have lost interest in this project. I will probably sew a few more rows and then come up with a design sans hexagons to finish this quilt. Any ideas, anyone?

Fall And Halloween Quilt Patterns | Whims And Fancies

October of course means Autumn and Halloween. I have been selling quite a few Fall/Halloween quilt patterns from my shops. That means very soon I will be able to make a sizeable donation to my favourite charity.

Here is a collage of all the Autumn / Halloween blocks I made until today. I have two orange kitties in real life, and they are both here of course!

I always get asked about pattern links right after I publish a post, so I am including the links here should you like to purchase any.

Halloween Quilt Patterns | Whims And Fancies

Charlie’s Adventure

There won’t be any new fall or Halloween projects this year, but I have pulled out the Charlie’s Adventure quilt and its backing fabric. I made this one for the Black Cat Crossing blog hop alongside writing a short story that goes with this quilt. You can read the story here. It’s high time I quilt this one.

Whims And Fancies

Janine from Rainbow Hare wrote a wonderful post called Leap In Colour. I myself have been thinking about taking a leap for a while now, and her post gave me that much-needed push. Many thanks to all of my online friends as well for their constant encouraging comments. I started taking the first steps toward the next phase of Whims And Fancies. Following on Janine’s footsteps, I am also letting my byline be my inspiration.

On the note of taking a leap, I just created a Twitter account – https://twitter.com/inktorrents

If you are on Twitter, I would love for you to follow me there!
