Week 15 - Goblin King: Labyrinth Quilt and Stitch Along

 What's the matter, my dear, don't you like your toys?

Another of what I consider to be one of the darker characters this week as we continue on this little quilt and stitch along journey through the Labyrinth. It is of course, the Junk Lady.

This week on Fandom in Stitches we again have a choice between paper pieced or embroidery options. The paper-pieced option for this week has been designed by Kylie Pecarina. The embroidery option for this week is a little different than previous weeks - there are two different designs.

Mel Moore has designed a great image, which I had volunteered to test.

My stitching of Mel's design turned out great, but I really struggled with this one. The design is a wonderful image of a wizened old crone... but... without all the junk it just didn't scream 'Junk Lady' to me.

So I decided have a go at doing my own embroidery design for the this week. The lady's face in my design is nowhere near as good as Mel's version, but the focus is more on the junk.

I was planning to use this design only for my own quilts initially and then submit the design to Fandom in Stitches for after the stitch along as an additional/supplemental pattern. It seems however that my alternative offering has become part of the main event so I get to share it here now too.
