A CHARMING HALLOWEEN


Take a charm pack of MODA "Boo Crew" and "Monster Bash"     
Add some black charms, use the Cherry Charm pattern and
get a creepy and cut HALLOWEEN kwilt!

This 52" square kwilt was pretty quick to piece.


I used a long arm to quilt it with a fun Loop-de-loop



 A Connecting Threads Spider and Web fabric made the perfect back.


Black thread on top and back  




Love all these fun fabrics


I choose a black/white polka-dot fabric for the binding.


Rolled and listed in my Etsy shop!   




Another 2014 Stash Buster and a 3QTR Finish!

A GHASTLIES SWAP!





The 2014 "Ghastlies End" fabric, by Alexander Henry,
might be the end of my favorite Halloween Family!!!
To mend my broken heart...
I'm hosting A GHASTLIES SWAP!

 Grab the button on my sidebar and put it on your 
blog to help me spread the word!  
If you want to post about this fun swap...
that would be just Ghastlie!




I'll post the entire timeline and instructions next week 
but you will have LOTS OF TIME
should you decide to play!

Sign-ups don't begin until August 15th

Sew think about it and come back,
sit down at the Ghastlies' table, for some family time! 




Since this is my FIRST SWAP
I am limiting sign ups to 30 Ghastlie lovers!


I will need some backup if you care to...




If you would like to be a GHASTLIES ANGEL 
you will make ONE (1) Ghastlies item and keep it
in case someone has to drop out due to an emergency.
I will reach out to you to mail it!
If no one disappears...it's yours!  
(or mine) hehe

I want to send a special thanks, who without their support,
I would probably still be "shaking in my GHASTLIES shoes"

 Michelle @ Quilts from My Crayon Box 
for her input and expertise about running a swap

 Erin @ Sew at Home Mummy 
who provided great swap advice AND made my
Ghastlies "Grab It Button"  

Leave me a comment and let me know
your GHASTLIE thoughts!
