Pixelated Witches Hat

 Halloween isn't really my time of year.

In 2013, I lost my Daddy.

I didn't do anything at Halloween for many years after that day, but DD's roommate is having a birthday party on the 31st.

So, I made a witches hat.

it's a Pixelated Witches Hat by Create with Claudia

Her pattern uses 2.5" squares and I needed a pillow a bit smaller.

So, I used 2" squares and added a border to get it to the size I needed.

BOW #10

The Hill Country Mod Quilt Group is doing a Block of the Week.

This is block #10.

These are my 10 blocks.

 

Having fun

I have one more ornament to make and I'll have all that I need.

I might end up making more because they are fun, but maybe not right now.

An October pillow just in time.

This is going down to DD's apartment.

 

Last NBAQG quilt

This has lots of novelty print in it.

I reminded me of love, so I quilted hearts all over it in orange thread.

I tried a new item for the check spring in the long arm bobbin area. 

I don't know if I need to add oil to the case to keep it in the bobbin case or if it is just me today.

I've been dropping things.

I had an extra box that I ended up putting all my envelopes in.

I like that look better than just having things in an open box.

I'm making progress in getting my room to look better.

DD is home for a few days, so I might not get as much done.

 

Design Wall Monday

        I'm linking to 

Small Quilts and Doll Quilts Design Wall Monday and Monday Making.

I need to get this Stonehenge one made for Christmas.

the candy corn is just a fun pillow that I want to use some fancy stitches on it.

This will be a long-term item that needs to be done by Christmas.

I found material I think will work.

I need to measure all the shirts

Next will be to stabilize the shirts.

Next will be to decide placement to figure out sizes to cut the shirts.

It is for a dear friend's son, so it will be a pleasure to work on.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

100% from scraps and ready to quilt.

All from the scrap drawers to make ornaments

This is another UFO and the corn and the stripe are all from scraps.

Pulled out scraps for a fall 9-patch.

Talk about scrappy, this is all the bits and pieces from leftovers for many years.

I am going to quilt it and then make it into totes.

Challenge

 The Hill Country Mod Quilt Group has a coloring challenge.

I colored it and then tried to thread paint, but I am not thrilled with the threadwork I did on it.

I need some pillows for November, so here is one of them.
