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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Thanks, Rian! I'm not sure yet, I've got most of my Halloween stuff "out", but not out.

    Very cute Jen! I have a Halloween pamel that I started working on years ago. I'm not sure it'll ever get done! Congratulations on finishing!

    Thanks, Deb. I still have some WIPs that need to be completed, but who knows. At least I've managed to get this one done.

    Thanks, Debra!

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

    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.

    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?!
