Design Wall Monday

Hope you all are enjoying your Halloween. Ours is pretty quiet around here, we do not get many trick or treaters in out neighborhood.

Halloween Hoopla

Halloween Hoopla is almost complete. A couple of more seams to put the center together and then borders. Two of the borders are shown in the picture. 

Along with finishing this quilt up I will be working on a couple of easy charity quilts and some gifty items that I will share at a later date. I also have a couple of fall projects I will try to get to this week.

Hope you have a fun Halloween and are ready to tackle some holiday projects.

Halloween Hoopla


October is flying by! This week, as I wait for fabric to arrive for O Say Can You See, I will be working on the Halloween Quilt. This pattern is from American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine October 2021. It is super easy and goes together pretty fast. I have nine blocks complete and 7 more to go, with some border units for the finish. This might be finished this week.

Enjoy your week!

 A finish will be happening this week! Sashing is almost complete for Oh Say Can You See, and I will be putting it all together this week. It is #1 on my list!


I will also continue to work on the halloween quilt. Have most of the units together and just need to put blocks together.


On the Longarm this week is Bountiful. I put the top together in 2020, and now I am getting it quilted. I had already quilted one for Sandi, so it will be done in a very similar manner. I will just change up a couple of the patterns.

All for me this week, what about you?

Sunday Stash Report

No quilt finishes this week, but projects in the works. Pincushions were finshed this last week. These were from a pincushion of the month that was gifted to me by Sandi over at Kwiltnkats. These were fun to make and a great way to practise some new embroidery stitches. 


Another small project that was finished, were these halloween mug rugs for the grandkids. They were easy to put together and the fabrics glow in the dark.


No change to the stash for the week. Enjoy your Sunday,

Used this week: 0 yards.
Used YTD: 149 yards.

Design Wall Monday

 

On my design wall is O Say Can You See. Most of the blocks are pictured above, but it is too large to fit all on my design wall. I will be working on the sashing this week and deciding if I want to add a border.


I will also be sewing more units together for the Halloween quilt I am working on. Here are the 25 patch blocks I have ready to sew. I will be making 16 of these.

Busy week for me! How about you?
