I have been working away in the evenings on a set of Halloween ornaments from the Bucilla kit, “Vintage Halloween.” Here’s a look at my spooky finishes.
A new technique with the pumpkin ornament was adding "strings," of beads.

Last weekend was my first quilt outing since last February's, Material Girls retreat.
It was so much fun.
Here’s a look at the projects I worked on this last weekend.
At our last retreat in February, I made these butterfly blocks so I started this retreat by finishing the top!
This was a charm pattern, "Madame Butterfly," from the book, "Charm School," by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique. My scrappy border was the only change I made to the quilt pattern. I used layer cakes so there were enough scraps to make the 3 1/2-inch long strips for the border.
Looks like I am monthly blogger!
Lots of fun stuff to share since my last post.
Hot off the quilting frame and promptly bound, "Fall Frolic."
This pattern is from Quilter's World magazine, Autumn 2016. It was a Breakfast Club project. I didn't change anything with this design which is pretty unusual for me...loved as it was originally designed.
I probably say this all the time...but this is one of my favorites. I used only batiks in my stash and most of the batiks were ones I purchased when I first discovered how much I loved them. I remember buying the border batik at the Houston quilt show...at least 20 years ago...WOW! Finally found the perfect pattern for it!
