Hallowe'en 1904 . . .

All Done! I think that simple black and orange strip border is the perfect touch. This is Lifetime Quilt Number 96. The pattern is Hallowe'en 1904 by Blackbird Designs. I purchased the fabric as a kit at the Buggy Barn and added a few of  my own pieces. ( Buggy Barn has since sold out of the kits) I used the Buggy Barn method...

BOM Rehab, MoP . . . .

I squeezed in two Memories of Provence blocks this week. This is my Block 4 Here's what Block 4 looks like in the pattern.  Besides reminding me of a robot's head, it didn't have enough background fabric in the middle and had too much background fabric in the corners for me. So I used the center of Block 5, made a few changes...

500th Post!

It's unanimous, the owl is a hit! Hallowe'en 1904 is done, and I'll blog about it on, when else, Hallowe'en 2012.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my sew along buddy Nicole gets hers done by then too.  You can do it Nicole, I just know it!  If you've not followed Nicole's posts and mine while we've been working on Hallowe'en 1904...

WRONG! I connected all...

Hallowe'en 1904 Update . . .

Before I get to Hallowe'en 1904, yesterday I left Cindy's quilt out of the parade, after Cindy let me know her quilt was no where to be found, I added it to the post.  But for you folks who stop by everyday, and missed Cindy's quilt, here it is again, I think it deserves double billing! (Cindy I'm so sorry!!!) Cindy's adorable, summery quilt...

Spools-Along Sew-Along Parade . .

I just LOVE a parade, all kinds of parades.  Last weekend was homecoming weekend where I live which comes with the traditional homecoming parade.  What's better than cool weather, bands playing and marching down the middle of the street, kids on the back of flatbed trucks sitting on bales of hay, and football players and cheerleaders throwing...
