Something Wicked Halloween Blog hop - My Day

 


Today's the day that I get to post about my project.  I don't normally end up doing a lot of decorating for Halloween, but I do love the colors of the season and pumpkins.   

I made this mini wall-hanging for my cubicle at work (well, whenever my eye heals enough that I can make it back to the office, sigh).   All fabrics were from my stash of scraps, and the pumpkin fabrics were even pre-fused and left over from a pumpkin BOM that I made years ago.  

The flowers were from a couple of spring season floral picks that I picked up from Joann Fabrics.  The batik used for the background and binding was leftover from another project.   Backing was also from the scrap tote under my cutting table.






This was a little wall-hanging I made years ago to have something up for the days from Halloween and Thanskgiving.


This was a BOM quilt that I finished several years ago.   The pumpkins were designed to fit each month of the year, and yes there is a jack-o-lantern in it.

 I tweaked the header panel from the original.   And after having it completed for several year without ever using it, I ended up selling it to a friend who then gifted it to her DIL who loves pumpkins.

Don't forget to check out what others have posted today -

Those flowers you added to your pumpkin quilt are just too much fun. What a great way to give a project some dimension. Your BOM quilt is beautiful. Your friends DIL is sure to treasure it for years to come.

Great projects! I have that Great Pumpkin quilt hanging in my front room, and a visiting guild this month offered it as their quilt they were raffling off!
