Halloween Haunts 2015

Halloween Haunts 2015

Wed. October 28 ..... the last day of the hop.....

First off I would like to thank Marian at Seams to be Sew for hosting the blog hop I know that we have missed them. She also has the gadget that you can enter in for the give away from The Fat Quarter Shop. One entry per site that you left a comment at.  ( I see that I am not the only one that is not sure how to get this on my post ) Now for my project ....

What's in your Attic this Halloween
This year I  taught a classes with a Attic window block. It is a quick and easy block done with only one seams and has little flaps for little fingers to play with.

fabric selection
Sew that I can get the samples made
cut and sew the triangles to make the blocks
this little trick sews up into a treat of a block

double checking the borders

the same but a little different
smaller sample for class.
Here is the finished pillow from that sample, I had some fun quilting on the back of the pillow ... some say it now has 2 fronts.




And for the sample worked on in class as well

Sure looks different from the first one I made.
I found the pattern over here at   QuiltBug.com  Look for "Spiders in Your Attic" . Who granted permission to use her pattern in the classroom. Always remember to ask permission...... quilters tend to have generous hearts. Thanks again.
And lastly a little tote for a little sweetie next door for her trick and treating.

Thanks for haunting along with me through the hop.
 Here is the list of blog hops for today ......

    I love your attic window block and the pillow is beautiful. It's great when you can make a pillow two sided to give a different look. The little tote will be useful for trick and treating.

    What a wonderful 3D effect! I tried to make one of those with scissors when I first started quilting - was not a pretty sight!

  17. MarianOctober 28, 2015 at 6:24 AM

    I LOVE your pillow, and your right, it has two fronts, one you can use for fall, the other for Halloween. I especially love how the fabric in your window worked with the Attic Window, because the important thing about the Attic Window is getting that fabric blending right so you see the effect. You've done just that and it's wonderful.

    I look forward to what your going to come up with for Christmas Is In My Heart. Thank you for participating in Halloween Haunts.

    You're so right about how generous quilters can be, which is why it's always best--and so easy--to ask permission to use their patterns, and to be gracious and acknowledge them, as you did. Yours is an example of how it should be done. Thank you!
