Today is my day to post for the Monster Mash Blog hop.
Octobers theme was "to Sew and share something scary, not scary, or something in between. If it's Halloween related you know we'll love it!"
Which then left me scrambling this weekend to figure out what I was going to do for the hop. Serendipity though was at play as I was working on cleaning out more at what had been my parents house when I found an applique kit originally meant to be used on a sweatshirt. My mom loved cats and collected all things cats, and she had found this at one of the local second hand stores .
I dug through scrap bins for the background fabric (a civil war repro shirting), the backing (scrap from a commissioned quilt), and the binding which was an odd sized piece of University of Texas licensed print that was the perfect colors to match the applique. The little wall-hanging is now hanging in my cube at work in honor of my first work anniversary at Arizona State University which is Halloween.
Don't forget to check out the others who are posting today!

Gratitudes:
1. For the new-to-me 2007 Rav4 with only 52350 miles that I found and was able to buy thereby replacing the equinox which was starting to cost me more money than was worth.
2. For the plans in the making to go visit cousins and longtime friends in Indiana Thanksgiving week this year. With my dad passing this year, it will be good to be around family and friends who are adopted family.
Oh your cat and pumpkin quilts is so cute. I also have (need) to go through my unfinished projects and try to get to work on them.
