I started this little quilt a couple of years ago using Halloween fabrics that had been in my stash for eons. Though it is not perfect, I think it turned out pretty cute despite all of the creepy crawlies.🕷🕷🕷 Hee! Hee! I shared the measurements in my Sept . 15 2021 post.

Boo Hoo! Ole' Edna is sad and lonely!
Her bestie- Rodster the bull has returned to his home farm after spending many months courting the gals. Most of the time he and Edna would be seen grazing together . When Rodster was hauled away, Edna was none too happy and was quite a spectacle.😊😏 Thankfully, she has calmed down now. Bless her pea pickin' heart. ❤

| Goodbye, Rodster. I hope you return next spring. You are adorable! |

I love your Halloween quilt. I remember when you posted about it. I am ready to take down Halloween and put up Christmas. I hope you have a great rest of your week. I have been able to get in my sewing room and work on a few projects. I am really enjoying retirement so far.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a lot of Halloween things - have a few up but nothing crazy at all - Christmas however is another story! ;-) Your little quilt is really cute! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute Halloween quilt! 🕷️🎃 I'm not really into Halloween but I would love to make a Christmas quilt with you 😁😁 That would give me an excuse to buy more Christmas fabrics 😋
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're posing again, your blog posts sweeten my mornings 🥰

What a cute quilt Melisa! Would you believe I have no Halloween prints in my stash? I'm probably the only quilter who has none. I do have orange and black and purple though . . .
ReplyDeletePoor Edna! Hopefully her BFF will get to return.
We are slowly winding down after a busy week and looking forward to dinner at Chili's tomorrow - margarita here I come! :D
These days everything is covered in skeletons, spiders, pumpkins, and other stuff...
ReplyDeleteIt's a fabulous quilt, Melisa!
Oh, poor Edna... I love her friendship with that handsome bull.
Kisses from Spain
Cute and just in time to use this year!
ReplyDeletePoor Edna! Hope Rodster returns in the spring.
ReplyDeleteCute Halloween --but ugh those creepies get to me...hahaha:))) I am onto the final little quiltlet to machine this morning for this round. Next round will be finding and making bindings for them all... will be looking forward to your Christmas project.
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest of the week hugs, Julierose
good morning sweetheart Melisa.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for the re-instruction of your shoo fly shoo. this time i remembered to print the instructions. it is such a fun little quilt. this quilt could actually be made up for all holidays: thanksgiving, valentine's day, st. patrick's day, all of them. there is something special about every month. thank you Melisa.
aw poor Rodster is leaving his lady friends. he's be back again - watch out ladies when he does come back. he's going to be ready for some cuddlin and lovin. he is one handsome big boy, however. Edna your grazin buddy will be back next year.
i hope you have an awesome Thursday. i need to take my mom to her scheduled cardiologist appt and this afternoon i am coming home to put my house plants on the ground for watering. it has been quite a bit of time since their last watering. i will then fiddle around here at home for the remainder of the day. i missed a whole day yesterday. i had a severe asthma attack and was flat on my back yesterday. i felt horrible. i am on a prednisone regimen for the next six days. i swear prednisone is a miracle drug.
have a wonderful, blessed day Melisa. i hope you do something "just for you" today.
blessings and love are on the way to you.

I have a small Halloween wallhanging that I will take down soon; but, I'll be putting up a wallhanging that feels like fall/Thanksgiving next. Christmas ALWAYS comes way too early and ends way too soon for me! I like your spider and Halloween quilt. You really rock the Halloween spirit!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteOh that Halloween quilt is adorable!!! Glad you got around to finishing it up!
