You all are too nice!:)I do have a funny to tell you for all you that like that skeleton one...I was told it looked like 'c**p' from an instructor at a quilt group. Here is where we have to laugh internally. I have no prob. w/anyone doing things different in quilting-and, this gal is literally stuck in the 70's. Which makes for a great folk artist in many ways, but, doesn't make mine 'c**p' for not doing it her way. So, for all of you that hear these words....laugh! It must be good!LOL

The first quilt is 'Halloween Orange Work Stitchery Quilt' by a Shirley Hudson (the close-up of the cat head is on this quilt) Her online site is at: http://www.hudsonsholidays.com/hudsonsholidays3_035.htm

second quilt -A pattern by Debra Hearns and the fabric she used. She is also online w/a site.

third-orange fish...for my kid. She loves her fish and I had to do this quilt when I found the goldfish fabric. Each w/a different name-too funny! I just made my own crazy block to fit it.

four-That is 'Happy Hauntings' by The Vintage Spool/Verna Mosquera. She has some pretty stuff! This was a fun but time consuming one that I did '1' block at a time to not get frustrated or overwhelmed w/what is ahead:) I did blind hem stitch to the appliques to get as close to hand work as possible w/o the time invested. So, there is the scoop...:)Thanks for the compliments! I should print and take to that instructor-huh?!LOL Skeat

Thanks Skeat! (I just ordered the kitties....sorry to be such a copy "cat" but those are adorable :oops: :oops: :oops: )

There is nothing wrong w/that or we all wouldn't be quilters for the hundreds of years in sharing blocks!LOL You will have fun w/this. I traced the pattern on my backing by taping it to the patio door and then putting the background fabric over it and using a pencil. Took these everywhere I went till they were all done:)Keep us posted on your progress over there-love to see your finished piece! Mine hung in our LQS until just recently and she sold many patterns over having a visual. Skeat

Bevanger 03-23-2009 08:36 AM

Those are some awesome quilts. I REALLY need to put my hand embroidery in my quilts.... :?

RedGarnet222 03-23-2009 08:50 AM

Oh Wow !! All of the quilts are wonderful! I love the orange fish one in the plastic bag. How cute! Well, what can you say about all that hand embrodery?? Very very nice work and oh so nice to get it done. Huh?

I am working on the last block for a myrtle Turtle days of the week. I love seeing light at the end of the tunnel... Ha ha ha ..

My sis would just go crazy over your halloween ones! Not much of a teacher that would say things like that.

tuesy 03-23-2009 09:04 AM

You've been so very busy!!! Love all of them, but the first one with the redwork is my favorite!..

Chele 03-23-2009 12:48 PM

They are all wonderful! You do such nice work!

Congrats on finishing these UFO's. They look wonderful!

Harmony 03-23-2009 11:07 PM

You have been a busy girl! Wish I'd get motivated to finish some UFOs!

k3n 03-24-2009 03:58 AM

Way to go Skeat! My favourite is the goldfish one! The hallowe'en one is great, it made me smile! I must show it to my son when he comes in from school, he'll love it! I get a lot of patterns like that in my French quilting magazine around September October - they're all the rage here, last year was a whole issue dedicated to this theme - witches, ghouls, pumpkins skeletons etc, they're really popular in France ( the home of Haute Couture - get that woman to come argue with the French about what's c...p!) How DARE she say that!!! Give me her address, I'll go punch her on the nose! I'm not as good at laughing these things off as you - apart from being b...y RUDE she's just plain WRONG!
