Halloween Stitching

 It has been a fun week for some Halloween stitching - both fast and slow!  I finished the main part of my Autumn Jubilee quilt top.  Check out Carole's version at the link.

At this point it is 36 inches square, a good size for my table. 
I could add a final border, which the pattern calls for, 
but I may stop right here!

Meanwhile I played with the scraps, and dropped everything else to make this little hand-pieced mug rug!

I spent a couple very pleasant evenings, piecing these little squares together, adding some hand quilting stitches through all of them, and finishing it up with the binding.

And then there's the Pumpkin Patch!


Just a little of this left to stitch!  That will be my Sunday Slow Stitching today.

I don't think of Halloween as a real festival but it is excuse enough to decorate in fun colors and party :-) Your cute projects make me smile.

Your version of Autumn Jubilee turned out beautifully! The mug rug is fun too. You've gots lots of things going on in the sewing room. Love your plan for the RSC hearts blocks. I tend to stall when I have to decide how to set those blocks together. Good luck with your finishing plans. Happy stitching today and Happy Halloween!

I love your pumpkin patch stitching!

I can relate to the enjoyment of making a mini from the scraps and finishing it up well before the actual project is done! Enjoy your stitching today!

Great selection of spooky Halloween fabric! Nice pattern on your table topper and your hand pieced mug rug is great fun too.

Your little embroidery is adorable! I love it! Smiled to myself as I recognized your mug rug binding. I've used a bit of that fabric myself. Don't we have good taste?? Ha!

Oooh!! I love our topper ... it's so fun!! Haha ... I love how you put your mug rug play time: "...dropped everything else..." That's awesome! Your pumpkin patch pattern is *darling*! Who's is it? It looks right up my pumpkin lovin alley! :)

JanineMarie said...

Fun projects! That pattern and the fabrics work so well with the little pumpkins. I like the size of your mug rug, and you have the just-right cup and saucer to go with it. What do you plan to make with the cute embroidery?

Sandra Walker said...

You have the best DrEAMi projects! I saw your 36" Halloween table topper on Instagram, and loved it. Too funny that the scraps grabbed your fancy and made you have a DrEAMi moment. Wow, to think it is entirely hand-stitched, just beautiful.
