I've made a Halloween table quilt. Worked on it at last weekend's quilting retreat and finished sewing the binding today. Just as I was putting in the last stitches, the sun broke through so I was able to take pix outdoors with the mums and the Jack-o-Lantern that Lily carved last weekend while I was gone.
I found this Halloween fabric somewhere along the way and bought it on impulse. The other fabrics I found in my stash and I think it all worked out ok. It's cute and not too scary. I love the cats in their pink masks with spiders hanging on their tails!
In the green squares, I quilted pumpkins in orange thread and in the hourglass blocks, I stitched spiderwebs in black.
I have enough green fabric left over to make a set of place mats but I doubt that I'll have them ready in time for Halloween this year. I have to finish an embroidered Halloween pillow and then both items will go up for sale at my Etsy store, Jolly Ruby, which is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/JollyRuby?ref=shop_name_search_sugg.
Happy Halloween, everyone. Don't eat all the trick or treat candy before the big day! ;o)
