My Small World Halloween quilt

I bought this pattern booklet by Jen Kingwell about a year ago.  It is called "My Small World".
I made my version with Halloween Fabrics from my stash that I have collected over the past 20 years. Three bins full.
I started this quilt on April 15th. I bound it on May 20th. I added a Castle and an Undertaker. I added a Martini Lounge and a Hot Air Balloon. You can go on and on with this.

Here it is with the sky in progress.

The hearse for the Undertaker and the Martini glass.

Skeleton Party on the second floor.

Had the alien fabric so I had to use it somewhere.

I'm about half way done here.

I just had to add a Castle. I eliminated the hexagon hill. This is a good close up of all the random sky fabrics.

My neighbor gave me the Hot Air Balloon. I cut it out and used baker's twine for the ropes. 
I just zig-zagged over them. I didn't quilt over the balloon part and it pops out a little.








These are the first blocks I made for this quilt.

I love this skeleton guy with the rattles.
Hey leave me a comment and tell me which part is your favorite. Tell me what you would do differently. I just might make another one.

Charity quilts that I quilted and bound

Somebody donated a large amount of quilt tops to our Loose Threads circle. I quilted 2 of them in February. 

These 2 are larger than what we usually make. We donate these to St. Jude's Ranch.

This is a stack of 4 quilts that I quilted and bound for our Loose Threads group. I quilted all of these over the last week. I scrounged up some binding for them as well.


snail design  I thought this looked like fire hoses stacked and rolled.
I put fire trucks in the upper border area.





This is a sweet quilt make from a book panel. I quilted it with champagne bubbles.
I quilted this one with a meandering paws design.

I had to make this back larger so I added some squares to one side.



Dragon flies and frogs.

Heart quilt

I made this quilt from a kit from Blueprint. It used charm squares. I used an orange peel for the background and prism for the heart blocks.

I bought the backing for the kit as well. Everything was on clearance price.

I used a light gray thread to quilt it.



Ta Da!
