Happy Halloween everyone! While I'm sitting here waiting for the (maybe) three trick-or-treaters we usually get I thought I'd show this pumpkin wallhanging I recently made...
Edited to add a photo of Raqhel's quilt (with the matching borders) that she kindly sent to me...
How lazy was I when I realized I didn't have enough to finish the top and bottom border for the second one and instead of taking off the two sides and going with a different fabric all around, I just used a different print on the top and bottom. Oh well, it's going in the window and you won't be able to see it from the street (you know, that "galloping horse" thing - I use it alot)
I did a buttonhole stitch in black around the applique and a meander in the background. I think they came out really cute!
I found this fabric to back them with. Must have been a Kenny's Flea Market Find, because I know I didn't buy this!
I didn't get a chance to finish this guy before Halloween though...
He still needs to have the applique stitched and his borders put on.
I saw these cute patterns when I was desperately looking for the backing fabric for the red & white wedding quilt. I couldn't resist buying it. The pattern is from a line called "Seasonal Skinnies" from Ribbon Candy Quilt Company.
Not only were they quick and easy to make, but I made them all from stash! I love that!
And, exciting news - Lilly won the prize for the "prettiest costume" at her camp Halloween party today. She was Minnie Mouse ....this is from another Halloween, but it's the same costume and she doesn't really change much from year to year - LOLOL!
Don't eat too much candy!!
ALSO EDITED to add that we got NO trick-or-treaters this Halloween (guess who will be eating too much candy)!!
