It's my day on the "Monster Mash" hop and while there are no monsters in my project, that doesn't mean that the ghouls and goblins didn't mess with me, as I was sewing it! I blame them, but it really was my fault. There were so many little pieces and they all were cut different sizes. I labeled them, but next time I would add the size of each piece on the label and attach the labels much better, as well.
Live and learn. LOL!!
This is my "Witches Night Out" quilt. The pattern is from "It's Sew Emma".
I precut it and took it on my quilt retreat last month. Whew...never have I ever drawn so many diagonal lines for one quilt before.
I stitched and I stitched...
and had so much fun, watching it come together...
My hotel room bed was a great design wall.
If you caught my earlier post, you saw just how convenient that bed was. Perfect height for sitting on to sew. Heck, I didn't even have to get out of bed all day if I didn't want to, especially since my roomie brought me coffee in the mornings!
I love this time of the year!
It was the perfect backdrop for a photo shoot and Sweet Pea had to get in on the action.
Little Man approved, as well!
Although it was more like, get me out of this thing, so I can get down and drool on something new!
While on retreat, we were treated to an hour long Q&A with Jenny Doan, Misty and Natalie! Those girls sure know how to motivate a person. They were talking about their triple play "YouTube" videos. Having never seen one, I decided to search them out when we got back to our room. I was so inspired by one of them, that when I came home, I dumped out all my Halloween fabric stash, went right to work on my version.
This is from their rail fence video.
I borrowed the bat from another quilt pattern I had made 8 years ago, surprisingly enough it just came up on my Facebook memories the other day!
This is "Scaredy Bat" from Ribbon Candy Quilt Company.
There are so many fun things you can do with this rail fence tutorial. Check it out for yourself!
Make sure you visit my fellow bloggers today and see what "Monstrously" fun things they have been up to!
