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

Flying geese blocks tutorial

 This is one method you can use to make flying geese.  I learned this method at our guild meeting.
Start with one large square (5 1/4") and four smaller squares (2 7/8").

 Place two of the small squares on the large square and draw a diagonal line.
Sew 1/4" on each side of the line.

 Cut them apart on the diagonal line and press to the small squares.
You will have two of these units.  Place a small square in the corner of each unit.

 Draw a diagonal line and sew 1/4" on each side of the line on each of the units.
Cut them apart and press to the small squares.

AND you have four flying geese blocks. 
This method is fun and easy!

Quilt Guild Demos

In my last post I talked about one of the demos from quilt guild this month. Five of our members volunteered to do a demo instead of having a guest speaker for the month. The five are listed here: Keychain... Mile-a-Minute... Easy Triangle Tool... Great Flying Geese... English Paper Piecing... There were tables set up with chairs around for each demo teacher. They had a timer of about 10 minutes for each and then we moved to the next. It was very organized moving from table 1 to 2 etc... Those starting at 2 went to 3 next etc... Sorry...no photos...I will try to do some of the projects and show later. And I didn't get my FMQ challenge done this month.... it is the first month I have missed for the year... I will get back to quilting... Smiles and hugs....Caryl
