I am back home from Son's, had a great visit now ready to start sewing in the am. Taught my 14 year old grand son how to sew. He was patient with me when I went over the basics, finally he said "Grandma, I only want to make a sock puppet, maybe some other day I will want to learn how to make a quilt"! I guess I got a bit ahead of myself!

So tomorrow the wild geese will be flying here.

It was not until I found Bonnie Hunter a few years ago that I found out how to keep and use all those small pieces.

And a great job you have been doing with all those pieces and your BH creations!

We all do such nice work.:)

Sure wish I was close by to be able to check it out. Do you have all the scary sound effects too? There's a couple of homes here that do similar at Halloween and Christmas ... and encourage donations to the Food Bank in appreciation.

Ladies - 100 mini cupcakes, 2 double batches of banana bread and 2 pans of Danger Bars. I am almost done baking and I only licked the bowl once. Can't wait for next week and I can quilt again. My quilt came back from Darby - I won the free quilting and it is awesome.

Take care - happy quilting.

You can raid my stash if you wish, but those black and whites are all gone now, finished using them in that quilt and a string quilt after. Sorry. Your baking sounds wonderful, what is a danger bar?

Look at that, I managed to get step two done last night, now on to step three. I might have a chance to catch up here.

Thanks. I bet I take longer to put colors together than anyone I know. But I'm finally happy with this. And I am really glad I got on this train. Hoping I can do step three tonight after I get home from work. Time will tell.

QuiltE -several items like the witches and grim reaper make sounds. I even have a skeleton in a cage that screams things like "Help. Let me outta here. I was framed I tell ya. I was framed. I want the display to be fun and engaging, not frightening. I also put out a 7 foot tall, fully decorated, black tree.

And we give away full-sized chocolate bars. We are very popular. :)

AnngelAnne: I knew it would look great, and it does. Well done.

I started cutting my step 4 last night. Didn't get too far but still plan to have it done in time for the final leg of our train trip.
