I need a hero.

 One who will come and clean my house, do my washing, and cook us dinner. Oh and maybe do some kid duty while I sleep. Yeah now that’s the kind of hero I could go for.

But in the meantime, I’ll content myself with some paper pieced heroes. I’ve been gradually listing the DC Superheroes and Star Wars characters (LEGO-fied versions) to my Craftsy shop.

All just in time because… this month’s theme over at Le Challenge is Heroes! Ha, perfect. My spidey senses must have known that. Yeah I probably used that catchphrase completely wrong but you get the idea.

Oh and even better – you have extra time on this challenge. You have til 15th September to come up with a project that is Hero themed and enter in the linky party – chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Fat Quarter Shop. Woohoo!

As extra incentive, swing by and check out my guest post at Le Challenge on heroes (especially if you’re a fan of 80’s rock, there’s a little something extra for you). There just happens to be a little giveaway happening too – but you gotta be in to win it. So what are you waiting for? Head on over! Giveaway ends soon!

    I am no hero. And I hate doing dishes. Sorry! But I hope you don't mind.... I am sharing this on my facebook page at http://facebook.com/sewfreshquilts
    You are very generous to be sharing these as free, Kristy!

    I always say to my husband that I need a wife ... but perhaps I should just say hero?! Lego Star Wars are looking fab :)

    What you need is a Super Mum! If only you could paper-piece one that came to life then all your worries would be over :)

    I love your Lego Star Wars patterns, I started with C3PO on Friday and have to say I spent as much time with my trusty un-picker than sewing but I'm getting into it now and really enjoying the finished result. Maybe I didn't start with the easiest and it's a long time since I paper pieced, especially that small. I'm still hoping to make a quilt with the patterns although on Friday it was looking likely to just be a cushion!!!

      I'm glad you're enjoying the patterns! C3PO does have a lot of pieces and is probably one of the fiddlier blocks! I hope that you find your paper piecing groove!

    You are my hero!!!! :) you are seriously cool!! I have always loved your paper piecing, but this is amazing. I think if I make the DC Super heroes for my boys, then I might be hero to them. Thanks for being so awesome Kristy.

    Kristi -- I just saw these on craftsy yesterday and am THRILLED!!! I have wanted to make Steiger a Lego Star Wars quilt, but didn't want to figure out the patterns, and now I don't have to. ;) These are awesome!
