Three Cute Girls

 These three are the cutiest girls ever!  So happy to see their faces and the Halloween items I made for them.  Just to quote these three "Grandma Adele is a really good sewer, we are so lucky. "  But I'm the lucky one! 

So pleased that they will have this month to enjoy the Halloween quilt and placemats!

Fun With Squares

Great day to have some fun with two inch squares!  Had to be Fall colors with light blue background!

Make a few half square triangle pieces and combine with the other squares and it makes this block.   The red thread is not an addition but always tons of loose threads in my sewing room.

Add some zig zag lines, a bit of quilting and look what happens.

Happy Day Sewing!

Altogether Spooky Is Completed

The Fort Worth Mystery Quilt is complete except for the label.  Took a while to quilt...Ruler work and free motion quilting was done on my Baby Lock Cresendo.  Using a ruler, moving the quilt and watching what is happening is a challenge.  I'll need more practice.  Here are the photos I promised.

The back and the binding were great fun to choose.  Different than my usual back but fun!

Most of all I just love the border and the binding together.  They are totally my favorite!

This was a great project and I attempted a few new free motion quilting ideas.  

This quilt definately not done by a computerize long arm.  This quilt is all me:  choosing the fabric, cutting and constructing the top, free motion quilting and binding.  

 It will have a new home soon, 

I hope I get photos of the new owners!

Altogether Spooky Top Complete

Completed the Altogether Spooky Mystery Quilt today!  Love the colors and the completed top!

The candy corn border was just what I needed to frame this top!  I'm pleased with the outcome and can't wait to begin free motion quilting!  Not revealing the backing and the binding until the quilting is complete.  You will love it!

Step Number 3

Step number three of  Altogether Spooky Quilt is complete!

This block is definatety Halloween! Using the fabrics from my stash and not the kit has been a amusing challenge.   Perhaps the green is a bit too much, but Halloween needs purple, shocking green and orange.  This block just has to be the center medallion of the quilt.  Only two more steps in this quilt!  Can't wait to see what Step 4 looks like.

Step Number Two - Absolutely Spooky Halloween

Just completed step number two of the Absolutely Spooky Halloween Mystery Quilt.

Candy Corn ?? It has the same shape as Candy Corn but colors should be yellow, white, orange. Well maybe it's not candy corn.  Need to wait until I see the next step or maybe the joining of all the blocks together.  Just wait and see!  Step three is on Monday 8/26.

Altogether Spooky Quilt

The first clue of the 2019 Altogether Spooky Quilt is complete.  This Halloween Mystery Quilt is from the Fort Worth Fabric Studio’s. 

 I made their Halloween Mystery Quilt last year and was so pleased with the results. 

 The directions are done really well.  I did not purchase the kit that was available, so I'm using the fabric from my stash.  The finished quilt will measure 35" X 35", great size for table topper or wall hanging.  Next Clue Is Monday 8/19/19.
