Happy Halloween!!!

4:00 AM | Posted by Mel
Before we moved, we went to a pumpkin patch with all the cousins, aunts, uncles and Granny Lawrence.





We carved the pumpkins that night which ended up being a good thing since we ended up moving away from our family.



Urban has been wearing this Batman costume for two weeks now.  A good investment!

Spooktacular Swap

12:49 AM | Posted by Mel
Here are the wonderful blocks I received from Jane's Spooktacular Swap, aren't they great?!
And here are the 9 patch blocks. I think I'll do the 'split 9 patch' technique to them. I've got a couple of private swaps coming then I'll put them together. Not sure of layout yet!

Roll, A Peek, and Finish

5:56 PM | Posted by Mel
I've been salivating over jelly rolls now ever since they've been introduced, but haven't ever purchased one . . . until now!
The Missouri Quilt Co has amazing deals EVERY day. I look longingly at the wonderful offerings every day wishing I had a separate (full) bank account just for fabric! Last week I couldn't resist - I HAD to have this jelly roll. It was 55% off!!
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
This project was a 2-in-1 for me.
I joined a fat quarter / table runner swap in which my partner, Diane, sent me 9 fat quarters of her choice and I was to make her a table runner or topper from what ever pattern I wanted. I chose the one the Schnibbles group is doing for September.
I'll show you the entire quilt when Diane let's me know she's received the package. ;)

And I was able to get my Vintage Halloween Postcard Quilt quilted!
I really like how it turned out, even though I'm a bit bummed that the 'postcards' printed too light.
That's ONE of two goals for my Charming Girl's Quilt Club for September. I'll tell you right now that I don't think I'll get my other goal completed this month, but I will continue to work on it!

Charming Girl's Quilt Club - September Goals

1:06 AM | Posted by Mel
I'm going to hand quilt two quilts (throw size).
I'm going to be without a sewing machine off and on this month.
I also need to finish up my signature squares for the swap
Do some hexies for the Pot Luck
Get started on the Disappearing 9 Patch Swap
Work on the Snibbles project
So I thought hand projects would be best for this month's goals! The tops have been done for years - you know how that goes! Now that I have Urban, I think he will enjoy the fun quilts during the seasons.
I will be in the process of moving my studio from the basement to an upstairs bedroom while we paint and clean the carpet downstairs. Bittersweet!
It will be a great opportunity to go through my stuff and get rid of patterns, fabrics, UFOs etc.
It will also be an arduous task going up two flights of stairs! Oh well, it needs to be done!
GOOD LUCK CHARMING GIRLS!
