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.

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.

Halloween Gallery

I made the witch's hats wall hanging 2 weeks ago.


I thought there was room for more just above the thermostat. 

So this is what I came up with.  It measures 6 x 6 inches.

He's next to his other cat buddy.

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

Halloween pillowcase


Here's one of a set of pillowcases that I made. This set is more for a boy.

Halloween Pillowcases




I made 2 sets of pillowcases for 2 of my nieces who are in college. I sent it off to them with a bunch of other goodies in a care package. These are super fast to put together. I hope they like them.

FNSI for September

This is what I did today from start to finish. I used the leftover squares from 2 Halloween Twister quilts plus a few more fussy cut squares to make this I Spy mini quilt. I fussy cut the Trick or Treat borders. The fabric was not printed exactly straight but it turned out great. Completely quilted too. Yeah! I really love how this turned out.

This is the back of the I Spy quilt. Machined the binding don't look too closely. haha
 

Close up of this super cute fabric. Love it!

I worked on this Halloween Twister quilt for my square coffee table. I have to layer it and quilt it still. I've been a sewing fool this week.

September FNSI

Halloween Twister quilt I made for my brother for his October birthday. He has a mini weiner. lol Dog that is. I thought he would appreciate the weiner dog witch fabric. I'm addicted to this pattern. So fun to make.

Halloween mini quilt

I just joined a mini quilt group and this is the project for September 2012. I used Halloween fabric and fussy cut the squares, it is very bright. Now just need to quilt it by hand.
