It's just a few hours until Halloween so we've chosen a quilt to honor the occasion. Enjoy EEEEK! from Verna Mosquera of The Vintage Spool (where you can purchase the pattern).

To learn more about Verna and her amazing applique creations, watch Episode 806: Having It All with Hand Applique.
EEEEK! 154 pieces non-rotating
