The blocks are so cute, and I LOVE that mummy! My blocks will be 12in (finished) large moons with silhouettes of a witch on a broomstick or a bat. I'm doing needleturn applique so it will be closer to the due date before I get them all done.

Jenniky I love those blocks.

Jenniky these are sew cute! I love what you have done. You'll have to sell your paper-piece patterns or share. Too adorable.

LOL, They are really rough patterns and I dont know that I would have the patience to sit down and drawn them so that others could follow my notations. ROTFL But thank you very much for the compliment. :) :) :)

I just bought some more fabric, I am having so much fun playing, I often time forget I have to work too! I am making my Niece's wedding dress.

Quilting is so much easier and more fun! I swear I am never going to make another and then when they come and ask me I just cave in! Oh well I do love seeing the results. I am making a renaissance dress, well sorta, it is a renaissance pattern modified. Wedding is in May! better get back to it!

Jenniky 03-30-2012 05:51 AM

Just need to finish up my third set and I will be ready to send in my blocks. Im having SEW much fun :) :) :)

athenagwis 03-30-2012 11:41 AM

The sock monster ate my new Halloween Fabric. IT's MIA from the wash machine to dryer to press Iron and fold. How can a FQ just disappear ???

Oh no!!! That is so weird!!! i hope you find it soon. :) Of course you'll probably find it once this swap is done and over with. It's lie when I lost my keys, I searched searched, finally I made a new set from hubby's keys and that same day i found my keys in my jacket pocket .... sigh .....

Jenniky 04-02-2012 03:54 AM

Gave up the search for the missing Halloween FQ. It is just so weird for it to be missing. It's just spooky...lol . I found a substitute for the missing fabric so its alright for now..but It will be interesting to see where it finally shows up. ???

Very strange indeed!! maybe you'll find it in your sock drawer and a pair of socks in your fabric stash .... LOL glad you were able to find something else that works though!! :)

Love the mummy. Submit it. Hopefully I will get one. If I do not, I may make one to put in my quilt anyway.

My Halloween blocks

Okay, I have made two sets and am ready to get them into the mail. Too late today, but they will be coming soon. I love what I have seen so far. I also love some of the ones posted at the beginning of this thread. I can hardly wait. I have so many things that have a deadline date before this one, but I did these first anyway. I love Halloween.

In the pictures, I show one short pumpkin. That will have to be the one I keep, as I ran out of orange fabric other than that amount. It is cute, too. I just like the taller ones more.

I also posted the pictures on my blog and how to sign up for this exchange. You can see them at http://www.beehivequilt.blogspot.com...-exchange.html

This has been fun. Thanks.

Keep on Quilting

I got back from a week at my Son's and while I was there I went shopping for fabric! (the room in my suitcase had to be filled with something right?) I found some really cute Halloween fabric.

I am making more black cat blocks... So I think maybe I will do another set!

Wonderful Blocks Mary ... and I love your fabrics where did you find them. I would love to order some from where ever to found them if possible. :) :) :)

marytoddliz 04-15-2012 01:03 PM

I got the fat quarters from Beverly's Fabric. The Jelly roll of Halloween prints came from Ebay, but I think it was a Moda jelly roll.

Blocks are finished, In the envelope, waiting for Monday's mail! On to the magical forest!

Rachel, I am sending you a PM.

letsquilt 04-16-2012 07:22 PM

Rachell I would love to join this swap. I love Holloween and all these blocks are so cute, love the mummy and witches hats. I have not quilted for a yea due to separation from husband for 1 year now, we are in counsling and trying to work thru this. But I feel like this would get me back into quilting. I hope you will let me join!!!!!

sew1096 04-19-2012 11:10 PM

I've been thinking about this swap for awhile. I love Haloween and all the blocks and fabrics are fantastic. So I just have to join too.

ooops sorry for the double post.

marytoddliz 04-21-2012 06:00 PM

Rachel, I forgot to put the postage in the envelope! I talked to the PO Cashier and she suggested buy a stamp. They actually have one for $5.95 for the small Priority package or the Envelope. It would have worked for the one I sent you! But naturally she told me after I already paid the higher postage LOL.

I will send it with the Magical forest blocks, I should have them in the mail to you sometime next week!

Spring is in the air it was 100 today in the valley, I think it was about 88 here! We worked in the garden today a bit. I love spring!
