One Does not Simply Quilt Mordor
One must start at the beginning with The Hobbit. Which is what Jennifer Ofenstein has done with Fandom in Stitches latest long-term project, There and Back Again.
Announced in August, it officially began with the first block’s pattern, Gandalf, designed by Schenley Pilgram and posted on October 5, 2011 and subsequent patterns were and continue to be posted on the first Wednesday of each of the following 12 months. Also pictures is The Road designed by Lilja Björk Sigurdórsdóttir.
Haven’t started yet? Not a problem, each month, the links are there to previous patterns released for you to access and download to work on at your leisure. The project is a collaborative effort between four Fandom in Stitches designers, Michelle Thompson, Lilja Björk Sigurdórsdóttir, Schenley Pilgram, and Jennifer Ofenstein.
Never done paper piecing before? Still not a problem as Jennifer has some wonderful tutorials to help you learn. So come along on a Hobbit’s quilted journey to there and back again!

Tutorial Tuesday: Mario and Sonic Quilt
It hurts me a little inside (or should I say, I get a little smaller, and lose my rings!) to see these two guys side by side. I love them both so much but it just reminds me that there won’t be any new SEGA consoles anytime soon… and that reminds me of the Dreamcast (swoon) … and that reminds me of Shenmue… I digress…
Instructables member SheWhoMustNotBeNamed has the perfect solution to my discontinued-game-console woes, with a fantastic Mario and Sonic quilt tutorial.
I could wrap myself up in it while I play my old Master System games…. doesn’t look the same on a 32″ TV *sniff*……………

Tutorial Tuesday: Angry Birds Pig Plushie
crafters love angry birds… FACT
Craftster user Miss Jols shares with us a tutorial on how to make the bad guy we love to hate (but secretly love to love, and would love to squoosh!) out of green fleece!
Don’t pretend you wouldn’t make 6 of them, pile them up in the corner and throw stuff at them until you’d knocked them all over… no? … just me then …

Tutorial Tuesday: Dora the Explorer Backpack
so… Christmas is over for this year… know what that means?? … yup… time to start planning what you’re going to make everyone for next Christmas (I’m right though?! everyone wants a handmade present once they find out you’re an awesome crafter… sheesh!)
Why not use this opportunity to encourage a new generation of girls to be adventurous, independent and downright awesome by making the geekettes of your family this great Dora the Exporer backpack. Julie from Vibrant Designs shares the tutorial on her blog…. I’m tempted to scale it up… it’d be the best daiper/changing bag EVER, am I right?

Tutorial Tuesday: TARDIS Christmas Ornament
There’s nothing more christmassy than the TARDIS (or at least, not in my house, where the Daleks wear Santa hats and the Dr Who Christmas special is the cornerstone of the day).
And with not much more than some felt and a hot glue gun you can make your own TARDIS for your tree… not included in Carrie526‘s tutorial, however, is how to make it bigger on the inside… :-)
