Eerie shadows throwing
As the moonbeams flit;
Black cats up on fences
Howl at the night;
Witches riding broomsticks,
What a scary sight!

A French folk song by Grace Budd

Oh for the love of all that’s spooky, LOOK at the quilts that have been popping up in the flickr universe!

This spooktacular wall hanging was made by mkissa who found my jack-o-lantern and kitty patterns over at www.sewhooked.org . Looks like she made great use of the amazing collection of letters over there as well.

Let’s take a closer look at one of those pumpkins shall we?

Oh is he not just the cutest jolly pumpkin ever? Great fabric choices all around! *wild applause*

And now Miss Kitty, gracefully arched before the light of a full moon none the less:

Can’t you just hear her “mmmrrowing”?

Oh! What’s this?

Do I spy another jolly jack-o-lantern in the midst of  a mighty spooky laugh?

Why yes! There he is!

Sewtobed is the braniac behind this mini quilt creation, and I love him! In all his bright and quirky fabric randomness, he’s perfect!

But wait! Look what else she made!

Oh Miss Kitty is funking it up tonight! Great use of the black fabric, and the balance of the white scratchies is fabulous.

Well done ladies!! I bow to your festive, funky creations!

Seriously. Where did my weekend go? I was just Friday, I swear it was!  *shakes head in disbelief*

Ok. let’s think back……

Last night – work

Saturday morning – work

Friday evening – work

Oooh right. I’m not really complaining, I actually really love my job. I guess I just got used to the overwhelming lack of clients (and extra sleep!) for the better part of this year.

Well at least Maya dragged me outside for a lovely, albeit brisk walk into town on … Saturday was is it?

Hmm, seems I have a thing for trees…

This is Maya’s favorite spot to play. I think she calls it Fairy Hollow.

Well. There’s laundry to be done and a son to feed.

Happy Monday to you, dear readers!

I can see the finish line….ooh I’m nearly there…the Sew Connected 2 boat is sew close I can almost reach it…

For Sodeste:

Reveals a something new depending upon your perspective:

The colors are to die for!

Many thanks to Caryl Bryer Fallert ,whose unbelievable gallery of some of the most amazing quilts I’ve ever seen, provided hours of inspiration for me when thinking about this quilt block :)
