Finally!

I finished this 3rd Halloween quilt. How long has it taken? A long, long time because I just didn't enjoy working on it much. It is only 17 1/4" x 15", and has taken FOREVER! The post for Sept. 2 was the completed woven background. I'd look at it and think, I'll get to work on that right away"; right away" is such a relative phrase. But now it is done! Whew!

  2. YOU may look at it and see pain, but I look at it and see delight! Good job. Maybe after it's lain in storage for a year, when you pull it out next year you will see it with fresh eyes!

  3. Jen, that is too cool! I love it. We are on vacation on South Padre Island, and I am now hand piecing my second quilt...I am addicted!

  4. Thanks, ladies. I think the background was too much for me. The color and busy-ness of it... Jane Ann, was it you who suggested cutting the appliques from the woven piece? I wish I'd tried that. Also, this was the 3rd Halloween piece, and sometimes my attention span isn't that long!

  6. Sioux, you could never be anonymous! I think hand piecing is something I should try...just so I'll have plenty of handwork for my Netflix movie time!

  15. It's marvelous. I especially love the well-dressed kitty and her somewhat chagrined expression.

  16. I think it's delightful, unlike any other Halloween thing I've seen. But I know how it feels when something just doesn't call you to finish it.

  17. Thanks, ACey. The kitty is modeled on those vintage halloween cats, but with a more modern face.

    Kay, I appreciate the comment. And don't we all have those pieces that just stare back at us?!
