Yesterday I spent a good part of the day foundation paper piecing this cute Halloween banner that I'll hang outside from about mid-October until the end of October. I got the pattern from a blog friend, Marsha over at Quilter in Motion, which has been long out of print. You can see her version of "Fly" here. I still need to put the borders on, bind it, and then quilt it, which I hope to get done this next week.
I've also been working on an EPP QAL project by Katja Marek. I'm way behind on this as most everyone is on Rosette 9 and I'm just starting Rosette 1, but you can join in at anytime. I have round 1 of that rosette finished and was stumped on fabrics for the next round. After a lot of deliberation last night I think I've come up with a combination. I'll be doing some cutting this morning to see if it'll actually work. I sure hope so. Here is what I'm thinking for round 2. I'm not sure if I'll use the pink or not. Time will tell once I get those shapes cut and laid out to see what looks good and what doesn't. Stay tuned to see what I decided on.
Lastly, my wonderful husband finished the hanger for my outdoor banners to hang on and here is my first banner, Hangin' with the Boys, up and bringing a smile to my face each time I come in from outside.
Hoping you all have a wonderful weekend. We are headed down to Las Vegas to spend a couple days with family to take in a car show, celebrate a few birthdays, and, of course, shopping.
Both of those are sure to bring smiles to whoever stops by your RV.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. They are so fun and quick. A nice break from a queen quilt.
DeleteBoth of your banners are lovely, sure to bring lots of smiles from whoever comes to your door. :)
ReplyDeleteNow I'm looking for something for Thanksgiving time. Loved LBC's post.
DeleteI love them both and the hangers are just wonderful!! I have blogged from my "camper" and appreciate you space challenge - I usually end up outside on a table !
ReplyDeleteI've thought about moving outside, but just haven't done it yet. Of course, 100° + temps don't help.
DeleteVery cute Halloween banner, so festive. I think that I need to add a Halloween quilt to my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl. I've been wanting to make banners to hang outside for a while now and have finally started making them. I'm having trouble finding one for Thanksgiving, but then I just started looking yesterday.
