A Tattoo'd Gnome?!
Have you ever seen a tattoo'd gnome? Me, either! But when Amanda (@weirdalice81) messaged me about testing my Gnomenclature pattern and mentioned how she was dying to make rebel gnomes, I was sold! Meet the most rebellious gnome of all:
And his friends..
So creative!
The backstory to the above group of gnomes is that a few months ago, I did a pattern for an upcoming Riley Blake fabric line called Gnome & Gardens by Shawn Wallace. (coming out in Feb. 2019!) The prints are so cute!
I decided to call it "Gnomenclature". Meet the more buttoned-up Gnomes of "Gnomenclature". A small and mischievous group of gardeners, equipped with every tool they might need to harvest their dinner.⛏ I think the rake, or possibly the hoe, is my favorite.
But check out some of the creative ways that my pattern testers made their blocks--
I love the batik leaves in the background and the little curls in the beard made by Joanne (@turtlequilterjo).
This one's beard looks like it has dreadlocks, made by Jeri (@flannelladybug).
And the print in the gray beard, made by Nicole (@ohionicolequilts).
They're super cute in all kinds of fabrics! And the dotty mushrooms! Polka dots are my fav!
Sweet lightning bolt mushrooms..
And here's the finished quilt top from Jeri. So cute! I love her fabrics, too. I've never met a fabric I didn't like. haha #fabricaddict
All the tools and the handles are interchangeable, and the smaller mushrooms can be interchanged so you can change up the blocks to your liking.
I still can't get over that tattoo'd gnome, though. He's so original! 🍄
That's the story of these little mushroom-gardening gnomes. Happy Saturday! I hope you're having a good weekend!
xoxo
P.S. Mark your calendars! Sew Fresh Quilts & I are doing a joint HP sew along. More info coming in January!
