Halloween Gallery wall

I whipped up this hat wall hanging yesterday. I have a book with a bunch of Halloween designs in it. Kind of like a coloring book for crafters. I've been wanting to make a witch's hat quilt for sometime. So when I hung up my quilts I need to fill this one space and this is what I came up with.
The Wickedy jig is a wool quilt pattern by Reets Rags to Stitches. The long skinny quilt is a bunch of flags strip pieced. 



The cat was an embroidery that I did years ago and never finished. Again this wall needed something else to fill the space so I remembered that I had this cat and I just added a border and binding. done

Make your own adventure quilt along- finished!

https://www.amyscreativeside.com/2018/09/17/bloggers-quilt-festival-fall-2018-edition/

This project was a quilt along from Moda Bake Shop this summer. You can get the directions there for free. They have 2 options for every round and corner options as well.
I quilted arrows in the last border and bulls eyes in the corners. I'm participating in the Bloggers quilt fall Festival put on by Amy's creative side. Click on the link at the top of this page to go see some quilty inspiration.

I quilted every single block separately.  Quilted around each arrow with blue thread.

The arrows are my favorite part of this quilt. I'm glad I used a dark background here.

I put a flannel on the back. It's just peaking out.

Sweet Land assembly September


I changed my blocks for September. I made a sunflower block that was 6 inches wide. I had to add a strip to the side to make it wide enough to match up with the leaf and bird blocks. I changed the other angel block to a watermelon with crow. It needs something else in the blank area. He needs legs embroidered as well. 
Meanwhile-I haven't seen this counter in 9 months. I have to have a repair to the ceiling so I had to put all of my fabric away. I have a ridiculous amount of fabric. I really need to sew faster. Ha.

Over and under quilt

I finished quilting and binding this one.

This is the back. I used a simple quilting design.

My husband bought me this as a kit. It's all flannel and so soft.

Dreamweaver finished

I finished the binding on this quilt this week.

I just love this border fabric.

Here's the back of the quilt. I matched the pattern.

This is a close up of the quilting.

Sweet Land of Liberty August blocks

I managed to assemble the top portion of this fantastic quilt. This quilt is a Cheri Payne pattern that is part of a sew along being hosted by Lori of Humble Quilts. I have had to improvise and make it mine like all of the other quilters working on this project. It has been really fun working on this puzzle.

My Liberty Bell is waiting for the bottom assembly before it finds a place to call home. The log cabin block got its crow.

Here are the other parts for August. Can't wait for the last 2 months of instructions.
