More Halloween!

I have been down and out for several weeks so haven't felt like doing much of anything but laying around.  I will never take for granted good health again!  I do have a few more pictures to share from our LQS.

Those of you who guessed "it's all about the boots" win!


A pretty Fall quilt with easy applique.
 

I loved this cute little wall hanging.  The witch's nose is is wooden ball.  She is also wearing her wire glasses.  So clever!
 

If you haven't made a trick or treat bag yet, this would be a fast, cute bag to whip up!
 

I bought this pattern with the hopes of getting it made before Halloween but with most of October being a fog to me I couldn't get it done.  The mummy is wrapped in torn pieces of cloth.  The witch's hat to darling with it's feather accents.  The pattern is called "Home is Where the Haunt is" and is made by Kimberbell.  You can find the pattern here.  This is designed by one of the girls that own the cutest quilt shop in Logan, Utah, http://www.mygirlfriendsquiltshoppe.com/.  They have the most darling BOM's!
 
Every day is a bit better for me so I hope to be back at the sewing machine soon!  Have a wonderful week!

First Quilt for First Time Sewer

A year ago last January, our LQS began their new BOM for 2009. I coerced invited my middle daughter and dil to attend each month with me. Darling dil had never made a quilt before but I told her it would be easy and I had a machine she could use so not to worry. Throughout the year, I'm not sure she was believing me anymore about the "easy" part but she perservered and finished her quilt top this past weekend! It is now at the quilter's waiting for them to do their magic on it. I can hardly wait to see if all finished! Isn't it cute?! Ms. E really has a talent for appliquing and sewing. I am so proud of her! She even had a new baby last year (she's the mom of those 2 lil' boys I show on my blog every now and then) and that didn't keep her from completing each block.
Sad to say, I still haven't finished mine.  Neither has middle child.  More reasons to be proud of Ms. E!  She beat us all!
