Halloween Vibes!

There has not been a lick of decorating for Halloween around here this year - not that I ever do that much for Halloween - so I thought I'd just share a few theme-related items I've made over the years.

Made back in 2019, this round pumpkin table cloth was created from a similar picture I saw on Pinterest, if I recall. It was relatively simple, as you would expect. I had all the fabrics in the stash, so basically it was a free project. I really ought to use it...

In 2021, I made Harvest Pumpkins along with the Frankfort Girls. Each of us made the same pattern, yet everyone's quilt looked so very different. Here's mine. I purposefully made mine as low-Halloween as possible, choosing instead to go with a strong autumn influence.

This pumpkin quilt is now quilted and draped across the back of a chair in our family room. You can click here to see the pumpkin quilts from some of the other Frankfort Girls.

My Fall Leaves quilt remains unquilted, doggone it. I had really hoped to have it quilted by this fall; alas I missed the mark. Maybe by next fall? Hope so.

And perhaps the oldest fall quilt in my collection is Harvest Mix, a favorite Thimbleberries pattern. This particular picture is from a few years ago. I do have it currently thrown across the back of the recliner, but I sure don't have any pumpkins on the mantel! *hah*

So, you all go on and celebrate Halloween without me. I will try to get some seasonal decor out for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'll be over here loading the truck with another haul bound for the Goodwill drop off. 

Happy Quilting, Friends!

  1. Fun fall quilts. I remember making Harvest Mix too. I think my oldest son has it. I loved working with all the fall colors.
