Remember this?
My Fall table topper that was a Halloween challenge
One day Miss Jacky looked thru her magic mirror yelling romper bomper stomper boo
Magic mirror tell me today
Did all my friends have fun at play?
Ok no comments from the peanut gallery if you have no idea what I am talking about
Because YES I AM OLD
and my older friends will remember that childhood ditty
Ha ha
Anyway, she was on pinterest
(The new once upon a time story beginning right?)
And clicked here and there and landed on a blog where they made this topper
2.5 squares and strips and 1.5 strips
Easy
Peasy and fun.
So in Jacky style she emails me "go here"
Carried away quilting blog. Halloween topper
And then says make it..
ready...
set...
go
Mind you this is on a school night or work morning....so I grab my Fall colors out of my
Bin and sew up the 9. Four patches needed and answer her back.......patches done
I dont usually buy novelties except for Christmas so mine is Fall
She goes my Halloween topper almost done.... see what I mean? The lil booger ha ha
So the competitor in me grabbed reds and greens and chain pieced 9 four patches and off to work i went....I wasnt going to tell her I upped the ante
I made this one too. My fall one just needs the border sewn on and i can quilt them up
This is hers
Tied and ready for the table
And her Christmas one.
Great minds think alike lol
Do you have a fun quilt buddy?
I do.
I am so lucky.
She challenges me like this a lot
After all
If quilting isn't fun, why do it????
You gonna make one?
Ready
Set
GO!!!!
I kind of like to sew by myself. There are a lot of people that love to go on retreats. Me not so much.
