A Little More Halloween....

 

This was too cute to pass up.  I saw Connie's at Free Motion by the River and had to have one as well.  The pattern she used was for a postcard.  You can find the pattern under Tutorials at Quilted Delights. 

 

Thanks gals at both blogs for some fast paper-piecing fun! 

I practiced a little free-motion quilting of my own on this one.

BLOCKBASE SAL...Not...How Far Will You Go? QAL

 

Block 2

All through except resewing it....giggle.  You can see the cream was too short to cover the little blue on the right.  Maybe if I finish the QAL, I'll redo this later....grin....or maybe not.

 

 

Edited:  to change Title and Button

I titled this post How Far Will You Go QAL??

 

This block 2 is actually for my BLOCKBASE SAL.

 

Jenny posted a comment about sewing along with her.  I answered about how far behind I was with  the How Far Will You go QAL. 

 

Then I hopped over to her blog to see her blocks, and found she was following the BLOCKBASE SAL.  Geez am I all messed up.....giggle.  What can I do but laugh??

I must have way too many QALs going on at the same time.  I can't even keep them straight.

 

I actually do have concentration problems, and I think old age is making them worse.

 

Such is life!  We all have something to deal with.

 

:)

Welcome to my new followers!!  Hope you have some fun.

 

Have a great weekend everyone!
