Day Six

I got some pumpkins the other day along with some mums and chard to decorate the area around the door. Looks like Fall to me.

Day Five

This quilt is from (I think) American Patchwork and Quilting probably 1997 or 1998. Can't remember, can't find the magazine, and I didn't label the quilt. Bad me. I'm always pestering my students to make sure they label their quilts. I wish I had. My friend Catherine and I each made a quilt from this pattern. It was fun. Does anybody remember the magazine or the name of the quilt?

Day Four

Where did Day Three Go? Yeah, I already blew it. I'm just not used to doing an entry every day. So this is really for Day Three and Day Four. The wooden girl I bought in California in the early nineties at a boutique. The three little ceramic pumpkins came from Ceramic Showcase 2007. Can't remember the artist. The little whole cloth quilt that you can partially see behind them was made by Marge Scott from my small quilt group in California.

Day Two

First of all, here is Halloween Decoration #2. It's a wool table runner that I made about 10 years ago. Can't remember what book it was from.

I also want to say farewell to this lampshade that I made 23 years ago when Devon was just a baby. I put those Boynton figures on it and his room had a matching wallpaper border. It was so cute. Rick very nicely modeled it for me before we tossed it.

Halloween Extravaganza

I am a total Halloween fanatic. I mean, what's not to love?! Great decorations, people give you candy, you can dress up in costumes and there are no presents to buy. It is the greatest holiday.
So to celebrate that fact, I'm going to post a picture every day this month of one of my Halloween quilts or other great Halloween decorations. I will try to give credit where it is due if I can remember.

Today's picture is of an original quilt. I think I made this back in 1995. It's called Trick or Treat.
