Autumn 16 Patch and How Does Your Cauldron Grown - A Halloween Freebie

 "Where ya' going to put me? " asked Miss Autumn 16 Patch. 

Autumn 16 patch is made up of 2" squares ( 2 1/2" unfinished)

" Give me a minute , " I replied as I bustled about the junk room looking for the step ladder. 

Soon I made my way to the living room . "Come here you cute little rascal, " I said to Miss Autumn 16 Patch. I grabbed her up and tucked her onto the wall quilt display shelf hanging over the buffet. 

" You mean  I get to be on display before being quilted? " she asked confused. 

"You sure do!  I want to enjoy your beauty now . I will quilt you after the fall season," I reassured her. 

Miss Autumn 16 Patch beamed brightly. 

Welcome, Y'all and Happy Thursday. I am thrilled to the gills to have the autumn quilt top on display. I often display my tops until I get them quilted. 

Once I placed her on the quilt rack, I promptly hung up the darling "Fall " banner that my sweet friend Patricia made me. Isn't it as cute as a button? 


It was not long before, squirrels and crows scampered onto the buffet with acorns and pumpkins rolling in behind them. 

I think I will be tweaking my Fall decor all throughout the season. 

Slowly bits of Halloween is coming out too. My tiered tray is overflowing with spookiness. 

The tiered tray is filled with my children's childhood candy containers.


A dash this . A pinch of that
Lizard tails and wings of bats
A tinge of sweets and a bullfrog's nose
Now tell me How Does Your Cauldron grow ? ! 

Can I tempt you with a new Halloween stamp? Cackle ! Cackle! 


It is called How Does Your Cauldron Grow? .



My little cauldron is sprouting a candy corn plant. Quite delectable I am sure.

Today my grandson will be here after his doctor's appointment.This will be his first visit to the local orthopedic doctor  since his accident. 
 After school, the rest of the boys will arrive for afternoon fun. Meanwhile, I will continue putting out my Halloween decor while I watch some of my favorite Halloween movies. Hmm maybe The Adams Family.  


I am curious. What is your favorite fall or Halloween themed movie? 

Alrighty, Sweeties, I better get a move on. Have a spooktacular day! 

As Always...


Happy  Stitching and Quilting,

 y'all
