Baltimore Halloween

Here is Mary's Halloween quilt. The pattern is a block of the month entitled Baltimore Halloween by Pearl P. Pereira - P3 Designs (http://p3designs.com/) and it just happens to be one of my favorite quilts!

I have this pattern (thanks to a dear friend) and plan on making one of my own -- my dilemma... I want to do hand applique on my quilt. Well, those are some tiny, tiny, little pieces. I'm going in circles on this one... do I enlarge the pattern, eliminate some of the tiny pieces, or just fuse the entire thing and forget the hand applique? See, that is my dilemma -- not to worry though, it'll be awhile before I can start on it anyway!

Mary tells me that her husband is getting her the Christmas pattern for her birthday -- what fun! Hopefully I'll have the honor of quilting that one also!

Happy Hauntings

In case you're new readers... I LOVE THIS QUILT! I should rephrase and say I LOVE HALLOWEEN! So, of course, I would love this quilt. This is the "Happy Hauntings" quilt (pattern by Verna Mosquera of The Vintage Spool) and it is the second one I have had the pleasure of quilting. This one belongs to Dianne and she has been "patiently" waiting for it while I slowly fall behind on work, life, and so forth! Thank you Dianne for being SO very patient!

I am slowly pulling my fabrics for this quilt. Perhaps if I am diligent with my applique over the summer I will have one of my very own for Halloween this year! Yes, a girl can always hope!
