As You Wish: Buttercup

Welcome Pirates, Princesses and The Six Fingered Man!

Welcome Giants and Sword Fighters and Miracle Workers!

Welcome to As You Wish, a Princess Bride Quilt & Stitch Along presented by your Fandom In Stitches Designers!

Every two weeks, on Wednesdays between now and May 7, we will present two patterns, one paper pieced and one hand embroidered, each designed by Fandom in Stitches Designers.

Each of these wonderful designs will represent characters from one of our favorite movies here on FiS, The Princess Bride!

Want to design your own Princess Bride patterns? We will celebrate the conclusion of this fabulous event with a Design Invitational (with prizes!) in April. We encourage you to save your original designs for this special event!

Without further ado, The Princess Bride herself, Buttercup!

Quilt layouts designed by Jennifer Ofenstein.

For the first time ever, we offer you not one, but two, quilt options for the blocks presented over the course of As You Wish!

Each two blocks (for example, the two Buttercup designs in this post) can be made into a unit to create one larger block. Those blocks will be combined to make one of two quilts, the Pieced Quilt on the left or the Book Quilt on the right. Each layout includes optional blocks to add your own designs or to include designs from the upcoming Design Invitational! Quilt sizes and fabric amounts are included in each respective pattern. Which will you choose?

As You Wish has been a combined effort of the following designers. Share your love and appreciation by visiting them online:

In addition to our usual monthly flickr prize, we will also be awarding a fun pack of DMC embroidery floss to one Quilt & Stitch-Along participant per month! Actual thread may vary. Share photos of your AYW Quilt & Stitch-Along blocks with our flickr group to win! One entry per block. Only photos posted to flickr are eligible to win. Shared photos are also eligible to win our regular monthly prize. Winners chosen the last Tuesday of the month.

Don't quilt alone! Join us for quilty discussions and fandomy goodness on the Fandom In Stitches Facebook Group!

House of Vampires

The Cullen House, by Such a Sew & Sew

6" paper pieced

Today's fabulously posh pattern comes to you from Such a Sew & Sew. Her work is always top of the line and you can see more of it here! Click on the Quilts tab for lots of eye candy!

Such a Sew & Sew is also part of a group of online quilting friends that we here at Fandom In Stitches have the utmost respect for, the Twi-Quilters. These ladies have generously given their time to make not ONE, but THREE Twilight-themed quilts that they then raffled off for charity, raising thousands of dollars for great organizations like Alex's Lemonade Stand and ChildHelp. Read more about that and look at their handiwork here.

Vampire / Werewolf Patterns

Commenting will no longer be available on pattern archive pages (Harry Potter, Music, etc.). Comments should be posted on appropriate blog posts and you are always welcome to contact us. This change has been made to eliminate requests being made on archive pages. Only requests made on the Request page will be acknowledged. Thanks, as always, for your patience and understanding!

Pomp, Vampires and a Challenge Revisited

Graduation from Forks High School, a 6" block

designed by Catherine Magraith and Such A Sew and Sew

Ah, graduation! It's what so many of us dream of as high school students. It's the closing of one door and the opening of another.

For Bella, it was a wee bit bigger than that...

Enjoy this fabulous new free pattern, Graduation from Forks High School, designed by Catherine Magraith and Such A Sew and Sew.

I just love the tassel!

Speaking of Twilight Patterns, we here at Fandom In Stitches issued a challenge almost two weeks ago. This challenge is an open-ended offer of a prize for the first person to make and post the Quileute Tattoo block to the FiS Flickr Group.

Why the random challenge? Well, the block is awesome, but it's also complex; in a word, challenging, but we also really want you to give it a try!

The original post offered up these buttons as the prize. They're professionally made and pretty darn spiffy, but we thought it would be awesome to sweeten the deal.

In addition to the Team Werewolf buttons, the person that takes up the challenge and posts the first photo of a finished version of the Quileute Tattoo pattern to the FiS Flickr Group will win this awesome 27" x 40" Eclipse poster!

A good friend to FiS has supplied us with some fantastic fandomy posters, which you will see as prizes for future challenges and giveaways... so jump in and make a block! You have a week until There and Back Again, and a little piecing will keep your mind off the wait!
