My Turn for Out of the Dark

I confess that I didn't do anything really spooky but I had fun sewing! This paper-pieced wall hanging was in the September 2025 American Quilter magazine. It was designed by Mary Hertel. It called my name when I saw it in the magazine. :) The spiders are buttons with embroidered legs and web.

I have been very interested in using the Sew Kind of Wonderful curves rulers, and I made their Mini Pumpkins using the smallest ruler. I really like that we make all the blocks oversized and trim them to size when done. Behind this wall hanging, on the upper left of the photo, you can see a jack-o-lantern that I made last year. Now I don't remember the name of the pattern...

Last is this table runner made from a kit that my LQS (Stewart's Sewing in Mt Zion, IL) made up for us quilters. They make up seasonal kits that include EVERYTHING needed to finish the runner. Of course, many of us have bought several of these kits throughout the year. :)
