Kitty Korn Kinda Day

It's a Kitty Corn kinda day. No not a candy corn day, though that would be delightful. 


For the last few days , I have been in the thick of things- cleaning and organizing the quilt room. When low and behold, I spotted my Kitty Corn panel that I purchased years ago.


 This panel and fabric line is by Urban Chiks. 
Anywhooo... it has been languishing for way too long . 


Aren't the fabrics scrumptious?



Moda's Kitty Corn pattern is a freebie available on their website. I will be making my quilt in a similar fashion except I will enlarge my blocks to 6 1/2" unfinished. 


Since I only have 2 charm packs , I will be adding some fabrics from my stash that coordinate with the Kitty Corn line .

90 nine patches are needed for this quilt so I better get to work.

10 Kitty Corn Nine Patches are completed. 80 more to go! 

I don't expect to finish this by Halloween . This will be a project I work on when I have a hankering. 


Candy Corn Plant Sampler is in the works. And by the day's end, I should have it completed. If so, I hope to share this simple sampler in a few short days.  This has been a super quick stitch. 




I best get to work on all of these sweets! 

So tell me . What are you working on today? 


As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all

  12. Your Kitty Korn quilt is going to be so cute! Love the vintage Halloween look of the panel and fabrics. Wouldn't the world be a better place if candy corn really did grow on a plant. I would definitely have some of those. Caandy corn is Yum! The sampler is coming along beautifully.

  20. I love your Kitty Corn fabrics! That is going to be one gorgeous quilt. I always love visiting and seeing all your perfect seasonal displays. They always make me smile.
    Candy corn is something I look forward to every year, and it seems it is only available near Halloween. I was at the grocery last week and looking for my annual "fix" of candy corn. I could not find any. I was telling another woman there how sad that made me and she went on the hunt and found some. She brought me four bags!

Have a lovely week and Happy quilting. Hugs.
