This weekend I saw my 2 grandsons, Griffin and Elliot and realized I needed to get my Halloween stuff out. I have had this pumpkin bucket for quite a while and filled it with fake bittersweet {the real stuff is a mess} and I picked the dead black eyed susans to add a little spookiness.
I only decorate with a few things. When my children were little we went all out. Now I would rather be sewing!
This is my favorite decoration that the grandchildren and I made last year. They did such a good job!
I did get 2 more Farmer's Wife blocks sewn together. As you can see I made a mistake and used the wrong pink polka dot print. I am not changing it, we will call it "charming"......
I like the color combination of this blue and red together.
I am almost finished getting the HST top together. Don't you love the little lobsters? This was one of the fabrics in a fabric swap.
These are some of my favorite blocks. This blue dot is from a vintage apron. I love how it fades in and out.
You just got to love those glasses.
Another vintage fabric with some very pale aqua dots. All my blocks are sewn in rows so I am almost there.
Saturday night we went to an Oktoberfest in Reading with our neighbors. They even dressed the part!
Crowns are always welcome at Oktoberfest!
Squeeze Box or Accordion?

HELLO, CHARMING IT IS! I'M WITH YOU!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR SHARING!
Those "wrong" dots look so right!!!
ReplyDeleteI just love seeing spooky Halloween decorations popping up here and there. That Halloween Quilt is so brilliant!! You're Farmers Wives blocks look wonderful, especially those charming pink dots!! You use the best fabrics, how fabulous that you got those little lobsters in a swap. Octoberfest looks like lots of fun, I can hear that accordion squeeze box music.
ReplyDeleteI love that pumpkin quilt!! your bucket of autumn looks great. Your halloween decor looks festive and great.
ReplyDeleteI love your eyeglass fabric too and your piecing on the FW blocks looks perfect!!
what a oompa oompa fun night!!
The pumpkin quilt is just adorable and your half square prints are swoon-worthy!
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin quilt is so cute and will remind you of the grands every time you look at it . (BONUS!)
ReplyDeleteThe HST quilt is even more awesome than I thought, thanks for the close ups of the fabrics. It took me a minute to find the 'wrong' polka dots in the FW block. I say it looks like a 'design element' to me. :)
Fun Post! I love the idea of the "charming" label instead of the normal ones (humility, God's eye, etc.). The pumpkin quilt from last year is Wonderful! Stay dry!
