I'll Be Haunting You Today

What a great day to have a Halloween Haunt Blog Hop, especially since it's MY turn to haunt you!
Okay, so I won't REALLY haunt you, but I'll be showing you what I made.


A big HUGE thanks to Marian at Seams To Be Sew for getting this blog hop going!
Whoo-hoo for blog hops!

I love, love, love getting my BLOCK magazine in the mail from Missouri Star Quilts,
mainly because they have some of my favorites from Jenny Doan's YouTube videos.


I decided to just grab a magazine and open it up to a quilt that I would make for Halloween. This
one was it...The Tag Team Quilt. A little Halloween fabric changed it to a Spider Web Tag Quilt.


Spider Web Tag Quilt


I quilted the web with Superior Thread's Glitter thread and I love how sparkly it is!
The Glitter thread color was #111 Pearl/Crystal.
The thread is so thin--almost like sewing with Christmas tinsel! After a few breakage problems,
I went to their website and read what they recommended for sewing with Glitter threads.
They said to take the tension down to 1.0 which totally solved the thread breakage. Yay!



Thanks to The Fat Quarter Shop for another great giveaway!



Look who's doing some haunting, too!










Thanks for stopping by!

I'm Loving That It's Halloween Time!

What's not to love about Halloween time and all it's creepy orange, black, and purple goodness!
Plus, it's the only time of year that my sister and I can show who we really are. 

Care for a poison apple or maybe a hot cup of witch's brew?


The other day I popped over to Quilting Queen Online and saw some of her past Halloween
 projects from blog hops and such...awww the sweet memories they brought to mind.
Thanks, Doris, for sharing those great projects!

Here's some of mine from past years...such fun times!

My sister's and me whipping up a batch of frog eye stew


A scattering of spookiness


A ruffled runner and Mr. Owl




A Ghastlie Bag...I love those Ghastlies!


A Ghastlie Dresden


The Ghastlie Family


Ghastlie shoulder bag (is it obvious I love this fabric?)


Money treat pockets


Dressed up for Halloween Veggie Cats


Dracula, Wolfman, The Mummy, and Frankie


A silhouette of me out for a midnight flight


She's a sneaky witch...watch out for her trick! 


A Ghastlie Coin Purse - pattern by Madame Samm


A paper pieced stack of Halloween bowls and ghost


Quilted Works tried to scare me away, but I snatched up this precut in spite of them


I hope you've not been frightened (or bored) by so many Halloween project photos,
but I had a ton of fun strolling down Creepy Carol's Halloween Lane. 
If you share some of your Halloween past and present projects, 
I'd love to see them...just share your link(s) in a comment.

Halloween Time And A Lucky Hobbs Batting Winner

It's Halloween time...I love this time of year!

So does Creepy Bunny.


He loves to get all decked out in his costume and even posed in front of my new quilt cabinet.

My hubby and I walked into a thrift store and saw the cabinet of my dreams (or close to it.)
Perfect size. Perfect price (cheap.)
Perfect for my quilts that have been waiting for a place to be stored.


Definitely not fancy, but totally shows my quilts.
I love the chicken wire!


There's a winner for the Hobbs batting...lucky Laura!
I've emailed her for info on where to mail that luscious Hobbs wool batting.

My Quilt Taffy gift certificate giveaway is still going on HERE.
Don't miss your chance to win $20 to shop!



The Dog Gone Cute blog hop is still howling away. Check out all the pups on display!
Visit Sew Fresh Quilts to make your own sweet dogs!
