a new lap quilt/throw in tribute to Tim, eerily awesome director!
So why Tim Burton? Because he does wonderful graphic designs, weird but wonderful
Tim Burton’s work…or maybe his “play”
So why Tim Burton?
Because he directed Batman, Beetlejuice, Nightmare before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, and Alice in Wonderland, among other interesting films.
So why Tim Burton?
Because Wetumpka celebrated his birthday this week with games, sales, and at The Kelly art gallery we had a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.
We had a party last year, too.
So why the heck BURTON?
Because he ALSO directed BIG FISH, filmed in downtown Wetumpka, just 1/2 block from The Kelly art gallery, and the two other shops I have booths in–Market Shoppes (seen in HGTV “Town Takeover 2019”) and Poppy Layne Vintage, a precious new shop.
I’ve done some other quilts referencing him as well. The one above I gave away in a drawing, but the one below was bought by the owner of the Big Fish house.
I also did a Halloween version wall hanging.
However, those two are quite complex, so I didn’t make patterns. On the other hand, THIS new one is amazingly quick and easy–big 4 1/2″ strips and squares. I cut it out and pieced it in one day and quilted it the next. It’s currently for sale at The Kelly but may move to Poppy Layne Vintage soon if you’d rather buy than make. Just contact me for more info.
In the meantime, the pattern is just $5 and includes a great grid with all piece sizes as well as photos, diagrams and detailed instructions. Good for a beginner, quick for a master, and even approved for MALES!! This is one quilt that could actually go to a guy’s dorm with no embarrassment–not a nanny quilt!
