I got as far as opening the boxes containing my new sewing table. The insert wasn't included, that will come later. So I'm leaving everything boxed up till those come, hopefully they will be here sometime next week.
It was a good weekend at the sewing machine, the big design wall is empty again. The Halloween Mystery quilt has made it to finished flimsy stage.

It's not a large quilt, just 49" by 55". The top was pieced completely from stash fabrics. Not sure how all those Halloween prints ended up in my stash, but it was fun to use them in this project. I finished off the backing (completely forgot to take any photos), pressed and de-threaded both the flimsy and the back. Now the project is ready to send out for quilting. All that's left is to make the binding and the quilt label. I'm leaning towards "Boo" as the name for the label. Not very original, but it definitely fits.
The design wall will not stay empty for long. The plan is to put the Inverted Star project back up and get the star border laid out and stitched together. That one needs to get done before Christmas.
Linking up with the usual Monday linky parties.

ReplyDeleteVery cute! What do you mean by "de-threaded"? (Is there something else I'm not doing when I make quilts???
ReplyDeleteThat turned out so cute! I hope your insert is there now and we can see your table soon. I'm sure you want to be using it this weekend too.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! And I think that "Boo!" is the perfect name!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish, such a fun quilt, but I have to ask about the blocks with part of a Dresden plate....what are they supposed to be?
ReplyDelete"Scarry" quilt ;) Cute little ghosts!
ReplyDeleteIt’s all looking good, Kate. I totally love the inverted star. Can’t wait to see it finished. It must be nice to have SIT home for a while. My kids have busy lives, and so I’m barely hearing from them lately.
