Epic Mario Quilt!!

There is no other no other word for this mario quilt than EPIC!… and as someone who works with teenage children I use that word sparingly!

cheerupem0kidx0x started the Mario theme room thread on craftster back in July 2010! and since then has been keeping us updated, as she created the bob-omb lamp, pipe waste paper bin, NES cartridge clock, papier mache fire flower, papier mache boo… just seriously… there’s no way I can list everything this amazing geek crafter has made just go look at the thread.

Since there was lots of work in progress included on this thread, it’s a treasure trove of how-to’s, tutorials and fabulous crafting ideas (you will NOT BELIEVE how easy it is to make .a bob-omb lamp!)

I think we can all agree, her son is a very lucky guy!

The stuff she made is great, but the quilt is just AMAZING (and I’m not one for quilting…. at all… if I’m going to sit at a sewing machine for hours there’d better be a dress at the end of it!) It’s a result of 5 months work and it’s paid off big style!

Star Wars Painted Quilt

We’ve had a bit of a Star Wars theme here, lately, and that’s okay, because we’ve been running across some truly awesome Star Wars crafts! McBeth posted this beautifully done Star Wars Painted Quilt, made for her niece, on Craftster. If you have to get your hands on a Death Star, and can’t get Beth to make you one, you can check out this awesome Death Star Planetarium. You can find more of Beth‘s crafts on her website, Subversive Crafting.

TARDIS Star Quilt

I have posted TARDIS quilts before, simply because I absolutely love them, and I love seeing new takes on it. Wendy posted this awesome TARDIS Star Quilt on her blog, the star quilting just makes this one! It is totally perfect for snuggling under while you watch the latest season of Doctor Who on DVD. Also, don’t forget to check out her TARDIShcloths, because they are adorable as their name!
