What's the Stich

So I have been dabbling with plushies to quench my desire to create sculptures and feed my addiction to fabric.  Like with quilting I enjoying either making up my own patterns or trying to figure out how to make quilts I have seen.  It's all about the problem solving and figuring out how things work.  Sometimes I do use patterns but mostly to learn techniques.  One of my first plushie I used a pattern from We Lived Happily Ever After.   I had it's difficulties but I learned a lot about making different plains simply and in the end my cousin was happy for new pal.  

I am still trying more patterns from this site but with additions to make it my own.  

I hope to post more learning experiences soon!

Sick-o

A month or so ago I was deathly ill... Ok, it was a cold but it felt like death.  While laying in bed I had medical masks on the brain and decided to look at some patterns.  After I found the perfect fabric I made this bad boy.

I am in love with this and am thinking about adapting the pattern for a beard pattern.
