My Day For Out Of The Dark Blog Hop

You maybe didn't know, but Joan and I are totally crazy about Halloween!


I've been slower at coming "Out of The Dark" than Joan.
She's been posting her past Halloween goodies all month.
Be sure to check out all of her pretties!


It's been a nice break from so many years of blog hops and sewing and designing
patterns for fabric companies, but I have missed all my blog hop friends.
It's really fun to step out of the dark to join you today!

I've been obsessed (or maybe possessed) with sewing Dresden's this year.
There is a 48" Dresden ruler that called my name when I saw it.
I love big designs and this ruler definitely creates a monstrously big Dresden!
It seemed like a good idea to use it for a Halloween quilt, so...

Spooky Dresden
65" x 65"


The fabrics are by Benartex and they glow in the dark.
I took this photo at dusk so I think the greens and oranges felt the need to "glow."



The purple minky on the back made this a cozy, not creepy, quilt to snuggle in.


I'm wickedly crazy about J. Wecker Frisch and her fabric designs.
I make at least one quilt a year with her fabrics.
This year I made three this year...yes, I am Wecker Wild!


J. Wecker Frisch is so creative with her fabrics...love them!




Charlie is pleased that I added minky to this quilt back.
He's looking forward to nap time on it.


"The Queens" needed binding and was waiting patiently for a finish.
Thank goodness for blog hops to shove those unfinished projects over the finish line.


This is my favorite queen!


I love all the crowns on the backing fabric.


Sewing from quilt kits isn't my usually thing, but when the price is right, I will grab them 
up and sew away. Some adjustments usually have to be made when it involves a panel.
For some reason panels are usually odd sizes and a bit wonky. 

I hate when parts of the panel have to be cut off to fit the quilt kit's pattern.
It took a lot of Frankenstein piecing to put this one together or I would have lost his feet.
This spooky quilt still needs quilting, but that will have to wait.


Such a dapper skeleton!


J. Wecker Frisch has an incredible imagination when she creates her characters.


It's been an amazing Halloween week of quilts thanks to Joan.
Be sure to visit all the blogs!
