Happy Halloween 2011

Well, I did not complete my daily "Blogtoberfest" posts. But I did post more this month than any so far. I think I had good excuses, starting a new part time job and going to Indiana 2x to care for my aging Father.... I'm leaving you with some spooky inspirations.... And before  you say anything. Chloe only wore her pumpkin suit for about 20 minutes total. She doesn't look too happy with it does she?

Halloween Purse

This is a purse I made a couple years ago using my embroidery machine... Someday I will be invited to a Halloween Party so I can use it!

Getting Ready for October Spooks

Didn't have much time to post today... but thought this clip art was cute.

Halloween Redwork

I have been very busy this week as my father became ill in Indiana and I had to go down and take care of some things. I missed a few days of blogging, but family comes first. This quilt comes from my "archives". From a quilt show several years ago. I am sorry I cannot credit it's maker, It is a Redwork Halloween theme....

Chloe in Her Batcave

Fuzzy decided to decorate around Chole's rest area.

Halloween Blocks

   I was in a Trim and fabric swap a year or so ago with a Halloween theme. I finally got the blocks out and decided to finish them this year. These are the four nearly finished crazy quilt blocks. I will put them together to make a small wall hanging.... I know it's really getting late for this year, but I will be REALLY early for next Halloween.  The first block just needs something in the dark green spot... Any ideas?

The next has kind of a witch theme. I think I will add a spider web to the burnt orange piece.

This block needs something in the top pumpkin print and the checkerboard. My husband had the idea for the skeleton holding the chain...

The final block has a ghost theme. The bottom ghost is Free Standing Lace done on my embroidery machine. I think I am pretty satisfied with this one. 

Halloween Season

   Well, it's October and that means thoughts of spiders, candy and costume. This was a sweatshirt I spotted at the quilt show yesterday. The lady graciously let us photograph her and even gave tips on how she created it. It will go on my to do list... So simple but so cute!

   Here is a cute Halloween quilt, but check out the 2nd picture. It's the back of the quilt, the machine quilting is great!
