It's the first day of the Monster Mash blog hop hosted by Calico Joan of Moosestash Quilting.
And it's my turn to share.
My finished product is a Harmonic Convergence (pattern designer is Ricky Tims). I have made several of these and, since I was teaching a class on it at my local quilt shop (Stewart's Sewing in Mt. Zion, IL), I thought I'd play with some Halloween fabrics.
The bats were cut out with an Accuquilt die and the quilting and bat appliques are done with glow-in-the-dark thread. It does all light up in dark but I think doing double stitching would have helped it show better. I wouldn't choose white thread for this project ordinarily, but I do like those pumpkins I quilted for the outer border.
Here's a close-up.
I've also been working on this bench pillow (The Boo Crew by JoAnn Hoffman) but have not had time to finish it--almost done with the applique here:
So, nothing scary but all fun.
Here's a photo of our younger daughter and family at the zoo. Poor Sydney was ready for bed when this photo was taken--she looks tired.
Here's the list for the week. Be sure to check out all the cool projects!
