I was a pompom girl and cheerleader for Evergreen Elementary School in San Jose, California a bazillion years ago. Now, stop rolling your eyes and pay attention.
Thanks to Madame Samm of Sew We Quilt and our super cheerleader Thearica of Pig Tales and Quilts for all their hard work. Here is the schedule for today, so make sure you go get some inspiration after I shock you today with my fireworks display.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
Put your coffee, tea, soda, water - DOWN RIGHT NOW! And pull out your sunglasses. What I'm about to show you is an example of a project going wrong, taking on a life of its own, and there was no turning back. Is your coffee cup down? Where are your shades? I mean it, do you hear me?
First, the innocent idea:
![]() |
Cutting strips from Fossil Ferns and using the 1/4" Clover Bias Maker. Innocent enough. |
![]() |
A bag of 90 neon colored mini pom poms. Innocent enough. |
![]() |
Two Fossil Fern fat quarters and a bundle of neon pom poms. |
![]() |
The beginnings of my Fireworks |
![]() |
Simple zigzag stitch seen from the wrong side. Did I say "wrong"? |
![]() |
At least the quilting on my ALIEN FIREWORKS FROM OUTER SPACE turned out good |
ALIEN FIREWORKS FROM OUTER SPACE

What can I really say? There are no words. Or is this a mutant spider from a nuclear disaster? |
That's it!! A mutant spider from a nuclear disaster! Now I feel better (or is that feeling really a dizzy spell?)
OK. Enough. I'm moving on. I have a giveaway if you made it this far without choking on your drink or having your stomach turn queasy. Just be kind in your comments. You don't have to like this, but I sure hope you smiled seeing how even those of us who make our living from our designs can come up with some psycho things!
What is my giveaway? TWO SETS (for two winners) of Benartex's Feathers & Fancy Collection in the Plum colorway.

TWO sets of 6 fat quarters. I want TWO winners |
