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!
