Halloween stuff is definitely spooky and creepy, which is why I'm loving the Eerie Nights Blog Hop.
I get so excited about Halloween!
I get so excited about Halloween!
There are lots of amazing and delightfully Halloweenish stuff being shared!
A HUGE thank you goes to
Marian from SEAMS TO BE SEW and
My whole family are huge fans of the television series
THE WALKING DEAD.
We love, love, love it!
Yes, we are definitely a bit creepy. No, the Monkey Boys don't get to watch it.
We're not happy with the Season 7 opening show, but we'll survive.
With that show in mind, I created a Beware of Walkers wall hanging using Robert Kaufman's "Blood Type" fabric that I picked up while out shopping with my nine year old Monkey Boy.
He thought it was so cool!
Then I used my new-to-me Silhouette Cameo to cut out the shapes and letters.
They had WALKERS...better known as zombies...for downloading. That was exciting for me!
The Silhouette made cutting them out much easier!
These two chihuahuas might have been victims of walkers.
A little Deco Foil gave it the appropriate "bloody" look.
(The sun didn't cooperate to show off the shine, but trust me it looks bloody wet.)
I painted some Deco Foil Transfer Adhesive on the "blood", covered it with parchment paper,
and ironed it. After waiting until it was cool, I removed the foil. Shiny!

ReplyDeleteCreepy quilt and bloody scenery!

ReplyDeleteWell.... that is definately creepy. lol. Good job on it.
ReplyDeleteOhhh Carol...love it!!! You did a fantastic job
ReplyDeleteUmmm....well...yes, creepy for sure! We are not watchers of that show, but even I heard that last one was particularly gruesome.
ReplyDeleteMy nephews would love this! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteWow--your quilt came out great!You made it very realistic!
ReplyDeleteWe just had our Zombie Walk in town last weekend. This would have been a great promo for it. Very cool. grinnie1961 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteSpooky cute quilt. You always share such creative ideas. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is bloody pretty, so creative!
ReplyDeletepatsystitch@gvtc.com
My daughter would love this quilt. . . . she also hated the opening episode of WD, but survived it. I LOVE your creativity! (lynnstck[at]yahoo.com)
ReplyDeleteI think your quilt is bloody, awful pretty and very imaginative. Happy Halloween.
ReplyDeletelv2bquilting2@comcast.net
Bloody awesome quilt.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha all the fans hated the season opener. My daughter among them! She would love this quilt. How creative with the foil. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love Halloween and Love this quilt. My Grandson is a big fan of WD and I made him pillow cases for Christmas last year. He'd LOVE this quilt!! Those Silhouettes and foil are the perfect touch.
ReplyDeletexx, Carol
Oh I love the zombies. Tucking this idea away for future reference. And cutting on the Silhouette makes applique so much easier.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is definitely spooky! And I love it! You did a wonderful job making it Carol. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how much I love this.
ReplyDeleteI think those skeleton Chihuahuas could nibble on your toes as you sew your next amazing quilt
ReplyDeleteI like this one very much.
Halloween is scary with all of those zombies lurking around
Shiny blood.....brilliant Carol ! LOL What an imagination you have girlfriend ! This quilt needs to go down in the scary hallowen quilt history books !
ReplyDeleteThat looks creepy, and I mean that in a good way. The silhouettes are a nice touch and the foil blood finishes it off nicely. I don't have the chihuahuas but I have skeleton cats, buzzard, rats, dog, crows in my graveyard in the front yard. I love this time of year.
ReplyDeleteFun project! Didn't quite know this dark side of you before.......
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your project. I'm a Walking Dead fan but I couldn't watch most of it
ReplyDeleteThat's the perfect quilt to cuddle under while watching your favorite show. Your walking dead along the bottom are a perfect detail. I love how you've got blood everywhere in your photo.
ReplyDeleteThat is one creative and scary quilt! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm not a fan of zombies, that is an interesting quilt. Thanks for the opportunity to win a fabric surprise.
ReplyDeleteI bet the Monkey boys will be fighting over that great quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery creative. I love it when I make something the whole family enjoys. Thanks for the chance with the foil. I have wanted to try this.
ReplyDeleteCool quilt, Carol! Especially with the dripping blood... eeewwwww. The deco-foil is perfect - perfectly creepy!
ReplyDeleteThat is perfect for Halloween. I love the silhouettes across the bottom.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is quite creepy looking with all the red blood splotches!
ReplyDeleteSuch a creative quilt...too much fun! To boldly foil...such a winner!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun, and I do love how you've changed up your blog a bit for the season! Very cool! ;-) I've never used deco foil and am definitely heading over to see how to do so!
ReplyDeleteHa! Love your creepy quilt. Thanks for sharing it with us!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so creepy cute! I'm learning so much and meeting so many talented quilters from this Blog Hop! It's nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I must open that Silhouette Cameo box one of these days.......
ReplyDeleteCreepy and clever!
ReplyDeleteNot into scary tv shows so I'm not familiar with The Walking Dead, but I'll read just about anything. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWho'd thunk they made blood splattered fabric? I would comment more but the zombies are coming to get me ......
ReplyDeleteJUST RIGHT FOR THE SEASON! THANKS FOR SHARIG!
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1214@gmail.com
We love the Walking Dead too-haven't missed a show yet-so sad last week, they can't be killing off all the original cast-what's that about? Anyway, love your quilt, thanks for the idea about the shiny! Thank you, Susan
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing what you created for the blog hop. Who knew there was fabric that resembles blood splatter.
ReplyDeleteVery cool nice job on the blood...... happyness04431@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI don't watch that one, but I AM a fan of iZombie on Netflix. Except there have been a couple of scenes lately I could have lived without. Love your quilt, and the foiling adds a special nice touch. So funny with the dog skeletons in the photo!
ReplyDeleteWalking Dead got a bit too creepy for me this season. I like the 'Quilting Dead' though! Of course the two skellie pups make it all better. Thanks for the giveaways. :)
ReplyDeleteMy son would love this
ReplyDeleteOk, I didn't know all this about you! Your header on the blog is just the greatest graphic. I love your quilt, even though I'm not a "scary movie" person. I really like Deco Foil, and learn so many new things to do with it. Thanks, so much.
ReplyDeleteWhen black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam,
May luck be yours on Halloween.

That is a great quilt.. My grandson would love it. Nancy A: rangerer@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple pattern, but oh so effective. Perfect use for the blood splatter fabric!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
Oh my gosh - the quilt is awesome! I have one person at my house who would love it! I will have to try that Deco Foil idea!!!
ReplyDeleteCreepy display! :)
ReplyDeleteUmmmm....yikes!
ReplyDeleteIf there was catagories on this hop you would have to be the winner of most original. This is too cute.
ReplyDeleteI bet all your family is requesting one of these.
That is so fun, what a creative and original quilt.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
My 18 year old son would approve!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it gets any shorter or creepier than those chihuahua skeletons! You certainly have the Halloween spirit. Thanks for being part of the blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI thought your quilt was very original, slightly creepy but also fun! Made me smile today.
ReplyDeleteLove your wall hanging. Huge fan of zombies in general, & TWD in particular, & that wall hanging couldn't be more perfect.
ReplyDeleteVery creative and very creepy! I usually go for the sweeter side of Halloween -- no scary stuff for me!
ReplyDeleteVery fun quilt...I like the detail you get with the cameo cutter. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSpooks and goblins beware of the Walking Dead!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Quilt and the Blood done in Deco Foil. I know nothing of this program but you have designed a great quilt. SPOOKY...
ReplyDeleteSpooktacular quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery creative quilt and the skeleton dogs are creepy-cute. sjvonfumetti at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! So much fun to see what everyone is making.
ReplyDeletesstanton0155 at gamil dot com
Your quilt is fun and creepy, no offense. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteYou even have your blog name written in blood. I love it and your quilt! The season 7 opener was brutal. I may never recover.
ReplyDeleteVery creative, I really like it.
ReplyDeleteMy teens are into the Walking Dead, but not me! I've never used Deco Foil but it looks like something I need to try!
ReplyDeleteWow so creative! I was proud of myself for just making a Halloween wall hanging-now I feel like a slacker! LOL
ReplyDeleteFun! I hadn't thought about making a zombie quilt, or using deco foil for shiny blood spills. Great ideas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic quilt! My husband and eldest son would LOVE it. They enjoy watching the show together on Netflix when my son's college schedule allows the time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, carol. Love the creepy quilt!
ReplyDeleteOkay, where did you get the chihuahua skeletons? And the blood on the rock, road and other spots--is that a Photoshop doctoring? And finally, what is a Silhouette Cameo?
ReplyDeleteLove the zombie quilt. I didn't know anything about deco foil until now. I just watched a video about how to apply it to fabric. It's very easy to use.
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome! I love it! Thanks!
ReplyDeletePlease click on the delaineelliott above for my email link.
What an awesome idea! Scary, but not enough to creep the little ones out when they come trick or treating. Just perfect! I've never used the Deco Foil myself, but it seems perfect for this project. If I win, I can't wait to give it a go!
ReplyDeleteEven without the sun, the quilt is creepy, eerily, (can I say) "disgusting"? The Silhouette machine was a perfect idea for those figures - wouldn't be so easy to cut by hand. Love it!
ReplyDeleteDeco Foil is a product I've wanted to use for a while now and after seeing your drippy, creepy, sticky blood on your quilt, I know I need to get some soon! Such fun!
ReplyDeleteToo very creative...and creepy. But I love it! That Deco Foil rocks.
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to this spooktacular blog hop!!!
ReplyDeleteboy that was a hard episode TWD to watch...but I'm glad they went all the way and didn't pull any punches
ReplyDeleteerin2470@hotmail.com
Blood type fabric is something else! Never saw it before! Looks realistic!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome quilt idea! Now I have to go ck out the Silhouette library for some "walkers" for myself...
ReplyDeleteI don't watch The Walking Dead - it is just to creepy for me. Your quilt turned out good!
ReplyDeleteVery Clever to use the Deco Foil to make the blood look wet! I've never used Deco Foil before but it looks like it would work great in a lot of projects.
ReplyDeleteThis is creepy... in a good way... Great quilt!
ReplyDeleteAhh Carol, this is so great. Love what you did with the fabric. Perfect design!!
ReplyDeleteHope its okay to enter here again. Couldn't find this one any where else today!
ReplyDeleteThis is toooo fun!! Have 2 sons that would LOOOOVE this quilt!! (Are avid Walking Dead fans!! lol)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a hoot. Love the walkers.
ReplyDeleteVery different for sure! I half way expected to see an old people walker in there somewhere. Karen
