Halloween Night wallhanging finished - UFO started in 2007

 I first blogged about this in 2010 when it was a UFO I was going to finish that year...
the blog post explains it and it is here if you want to check out more about it....

 Here are some closeups......I really like this little wallhanging....
The kit was purchased at Deer Country Quilts in Seeley Lake, MT....a great shop...

 I decided to leave the pumpkins plain without faces...

The quilt guild I belong to is having a UFO Challenge this year....
We select 3 or 4 quilt projects that we want to complete and list them on the entry form...
The first one is due for the November meeting and this witch wallhanging is the one I chose to finish...
The last photo shows the rules and the Challenge Hexagon Pin they give us when we signed up.  We get a button when each project is completed to add to our pin.  AND we get a ticket to put in a drawing for prizes.  Just a fun way to get a push to finish some projects.  I am so glad I listed this one first...now it is done!

Smiles and hugs....Caryl

I will link to Linky Party Tuesday, finish it up Friday, Link a Finish Friday

Pumpkin Party Runner

 Finished Halloween runner...this photo without flash..
For the squares I used a charm pack by Deb Strain called Pumpkin Party.

 I used the 4-patch tutorial here     ....the tutorial I did was for a square table topper....
After sewing them into 4-patches I squared them to 4 1/2" each....

 For this project I wanted a rectangle runner so I used 18 charm squares...9 light and 9 dark...
I figured out a desirable placement....taking a photo and checking it before sewing helps to decide...

Here is a photo with flash....

 For the back I used an old Debbie Mumm fabric....

This is a reversible runner for fall..... and Halloween.
It is very easy and very fun to make!

ticker tape quilt is finished

Here is the little ticker tape quilt I finished this week....
I got the idea from crazymomquilts and it has been been on my bucket list for awhile....
It is just pieces of fabric scraps that I fit together like a puzzle....
Some pieces I cut to fit but a lot of them I left just as I found them in my scrap jar...
This is a totally fun quilt to make.

Smiles and hugs....Caryl

Scrappy Trips quilt is finished

 I have blogged many times about this quilt....
And added many photos along the way....
I started it in January with just one jelly roll....
I had quite a collection of jelly rolls....
In fact I had a lot of Sandy Gervais fabric jelly rolls..
So this quilt started small and became large enough for our king bed....
AND this quilt is ALL different fabrics of Sandy Gervais...
I even found a SG fabric for the binding....
The size is 64 blocks (8 x 8) and each block is 36 squares...
For a total of 2,304 squares........

I really was not in a rush to finish this quilt....
I loved every blissful step along the way....
I put a photo of every block as I finished it on my blog....

So many thanks to Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville for her Scrappy Trips free pattern....
Many thanks to Sandy Gervais for all her wonderful fabrics she has designed....
Many thanks to the flickr group with all their inspiration.....
AND many thanks for all who have commented online and in person...

Smiles and hugs....Caryl
