I quilted this panel free motion like. It was donated to a charity.

I made this quilt from the leftovers of the Merrily quilt from a few years ago. I had a lot of the animals left from that quilt and I had a lot of other odds and ends from it also. I just added some odd backgrounds to it from my stash. I had to piece the border with a couple of the reds. 

This is the back of the quilt. Notice that the wider trees have a chimney. Ha! More leftover pieces that I couldn't let go to waste. So the birds and the squirrels must have a cozy fireplace up in those trees. I only have a little bit of a brown fabric left. Technically I was able to get 2 more quilt tops out of the leftovers from that kit. 

This is another charity quilt I made with 3.5" squares that a friend gave me. I made 4 patches and sashed them with my own salmon colored solid. I used the salmon on the back and used it for binding as well.

I made a Santa pillow from the leftover fabric from the Jolly Holiday quilt in the previous post. I changed his lips to pink.

 

Look at that face! The beard is so cool. I watched an artist on YouTube and got inspiration from him. 

This is "Jolly Holiday", a kit by Lella Boutique in her Christmas Eve fabric.

I used a Holly quilting design all over except for the Santa.

This pattern is "Traffic Jam" by Pat Sloan. It's a free pattern and a great scrap buster.

LONG TIME GONE with a HALLOWEEN twist

 

This is one of the first blocks I made. I love the low volume background. Now I want to make a quilt with only these blocks.

Monkey wrenches with fussy cut centers. 

Some of the blocks on the design wall. I used a lot of scraps for this quilt.

I had to add a couple of Halloween blocks to my version of this quilt. 

Pumpkin block and others from the pattern. I drew up a paper piecing template for the diamond blocks. 

I find that I can't make them accurately without paper piecing.

Here I have started adding the sashing to the blocks.

Here's the completed quilt. I thought about adding the Halloween blocks a little late in the process. I wish I would have put one more on the left to balance it out a bit.

Trees and houses in a spooky forest for the back.

The back.

House Quilt and pin cushions.

Using scraps of fabric from my stash and my quilt circle I made another house quilt for our charity group. 

I used donated fabric for all of the trees and the backgrounds. 

I used a pale pink with white dots and a neutral floral for the backgrounds. I had about a half yard of each. So I figure the houses are in different subdivisions.  This quilt went together so fast and it's a great use of scraps.

Here are 2 of the 5 pin cushions I made from the magazine American Patchwork and Quilting. These are another great scrap user.

 

BE MY NEIGHBOR quilt

I started this quilt on May 4, 2020. It's called "Be My Neighbor" the pattern was free from Moda Bake Shop in 2018. I downloaded all of the block instructions and this coloring page at the time. I believe it was a quilt along hosted by Pat Sloan. I watercolored this page and only ended up changing a few things as I went. It was a helpful tool.

This is the fabric I used for all of the windows. It was the perfect size.

This is the fabric that I cut the ghosts out of and also the spooky tree was part of this.

Mr. and Mrs. Frankenghost go trick or treating.

I quilted it with Ghosts.

I used this skeleton panel for the back. 

This thing is huge! It measures 86 x 73.

The house on the left has a mailbox.

Check out the windows.

Each row of houses has a different night sky.

It's a good thing one of those ghosts was a pirate. Just the perfect touch for the boat.

Here's the spooky tree.

These ghosts are my favorite!

I put the binding on this on 6-3-2020. It took me a month from start to finish.
