Well...doesn't seem like it should be October...but here's a couple of Halloween projects. The Jack-
O-Lantern I did for a friend ..gift for her 2 yr. old grandson ... she pieced, I quilted. The little quilt above
is one I started 2 yrs ago and never got done in time for the occasion. Will be on the wall a short time.
Another one down...Humm? Which UFO next ?!

Maybe it is the music that seems sad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C_40B9m4tI&feature=related Wish I could capture the lyric movement in fabric. Reminds me of Libby Lehman's ribbons. What do you think?

idaho OFFLINE Posts: 2531 Thank you received: 183	Thanks! This one is 30 x 30+ not quite square- and the hexies are 1 inch on the side. It took a few TV hours to hand sew those little things ! Off the the bigger town to buy groceries and supplies..saves a little !

rehak OFFLINE Posts: 2783 Thank you received: 458	Very nice, Marilyn! You are just chugging along! Makes me want to get to some of my UFOs, but I'm realizing I'll need to start on my mom's angel quilt if I'm going to finish it by Christmas. Of course, it's going to be fun to start on something brand new, too! Nancy

PosyP OFFLINE Posts: 4106 Thank you received: 361	That looks lovely, Marilyn, and this is from someone put off hexies as a child...... Got some motivation to cut strips for my reels last night, so I did ..... Just why did it have to wait until bedtime, so I was burning the midnight oil? My darned bodyclock is messing me about again, and I will have to work on re-training it for when we get back to school routine next week

Well, even with Big Bernie gone to hospital....I managed to move a quilt from UFO to WIP !!
This little guy is English paper-pieced and I really need to hand quilt it. It will have to wait
'till it cools down. Can't sit under even a little one right now !!

What a little beauty! There is a hint of Fall in the air here in PA and you'll be ready when a crisp cool day heads your way.
