Super Mario Quilt

Super Mario Quilt

Reader Jen sent us a picture of her very first quilt. She says,

“I love old school Super Mario Brothers and I am trying to learn how to quilt. This is my first attempt. I call it my starter quilt. Super easy to make but a bit time-consuming.”

Mario looks awesome on such a grand scale. Good job, Jen!

13 Crafty Robots

Shayne | April 25, 2008 | 3:02 am

Robots are cool. Do a search on “robot” at etsy.com and you’ll get more than 2,000 results. Flickr serves up another 1,500. Plushies, etched glass, metalworks - anything goes for making robots. Here are a few:

Emmett’s Robot

Emmett’s Robot by Bitterbethandy

Bitterbethany was inspired by Jess Hutchinson and Hillary Lang to make this soft robot. The zipper mouth and snap buttons are great details!

My First Robot

My First Robot by Lilydustbin

And another from Jess Hutchinson’s “Unusual Toys for You to Knit and Enjoy.” This was Lily Dustbin’s first robot attempt. Naturally, she plans on knitting more. There’s no such thing as too many robots.

Robot Geek in Love

Angry Robot Pouch

Angry Robot Pouch by Anatomyofaskirt

This robot is fun *and* functional :) Unzip his mouth to store your money and other small things. Also, I’m just a sucker for glitter vinyl.

Robot Shot Glass

Robot Shot Glass by BreadandBadger

BreadandBadger is freehand-etching shot glasses with a rotary tool for your drinking needs. No two robots are alike.

Ollie

Ollie by Guy Robot

Guy Robot turns junk into robots. Be sure to check out his entire web site for robot-y goodness. This here is Ollie:

“Ollie is one tough robot, built to handle a heap of abuse. Rocks and worse just bounce off of his head. Ollie’s body armor is bomb-squad certified, he can squat thrust twice his weight. Once, on a dare, he did eleven thousand pull-ups.”

  • Ollie by Guy Robot

Spock Matzah
I am loving the Spock crafts! Phillip Torrone posted the coolest matzah anyone’s ever seen on the Craftzine blog. He used a laser cutter to etch Spock on matzah. Live long and prosper this Passover.
