Halloween Swap!

Well, it all started when I saw the results of an Easter ornament swap that my daughter participated in and she announced one day that a Halloween swap was next on the agenda. She asked me if I wanted to participate and I readily said yes! Fourteen people from all over the country signed up to do this one and the idea was to make 14 Halloween items that could be hung on a Halloween tree. Ok, so I started thinking of an idea and then I thought why not make everybody a tree skirt? So I found the pattern that I wanted and then realized that I had no idea of the kind of tree that these folks had, so I made a quilt table topper instead to set their tree on. Well, the deadline was the 20th of September and I mailed them today but the last week got me thinking "What was I thinking???" Fingers sore with 14 bindings in 2 short days, all quilting done in a day and a half but they were mailed today and I can't wait to see what comes back! They should be mailed back to us around the 1st of October! Can't wait! I need to get a tree now!

The pile of finished toppers.

A jack-o-lantern shows up here. There are spiders also.

Simply Roses was the quilt pattern done in Greenette thread.

Pink roses and green borders make this a soft comforting quilt!

Mary's Abundant Feathers Quilt!

This quilt is just one of many quilts that Mary's mother made long ago. A wonderful keepsake!
The borders really show the Abundant Feathers quilt pattern quilted with Dyed Natural thread.

The center portion of the quilt.

Hundreds of squares of fabrics remind Mary of the clothing of the 50's and 60's.

The quilt backing shows the abundant feathers!
