Welcome! It's my day to show you some spooky fun! I just got back from a quilt retreat with my mom and sisters. We had a wonderful time. This is our third time going to this retreat and we swore it was haunted, ha ha! It's a charming old creaky house with hidden passages between bedrooms, another locked door that seems to go nowhere, all sorts of creepy stuff which probably wasn't creepy for its time. I also didn't want to sleep in a room by myself, so I was happy to share a room with mom. I've listened to too many Stephen King books this month. So, this year I packed sage candles to burn. I also had some 2 1/2-inch Halloween charms that have traveled to retreat several times. I really didn't know what I wanted to do with them. Well, I finally figured out what I wanted to make with them, with a little inspiration from Pinterest.... I stayed up very late a couple of nights and made these two adorable spooky projects.
I then had a bunch of orange and gray blocks left, so I made a scrappy pumpkin block. I love the scrappy look... |
The black binding frames the pumpkin mini quilt nicely. I only had a couple of squares left over. Not enough to do much with... |
My nephew was a great help for taking photos and hid himself behind the scarecrow holding my mini quilts in place! |
I hope that you enjoy my projects and aren't afraid to turn those little squares into a scrappy mini quilts. Now I've got some catching up to do and visit everyone who's created some fabulous projects! Have fun hopping and don't forget to leave some sweet comments. We love you hear from you! Thank you for Joan from Moose Stash Quilting for hosting this wonderful blog hop!

Grab a cup of coffee, a sweet treat. My favorite Halloween treat is a mixture of candy corn and roasted peanuts! Tastes like a salted nut roll, oh soooo goooood!
Happy Hopping! Hope you have a spooky time!

ReplyDeleteThat retreat sounds a little too creepy for me during the night, but I'd love to be there during the day. Where was this place? In spite of the scary stuff, it looks like you fought the hauntings and created awesome projects. Those little mini squares are always a challenge for me, but you did a great job being creative with them. Love that ghost! Thanks for sharing, Cindy!
