Halloween Quilt Brought Out of Hiding

IMG_1409

Oh dear, I have done it again.  Somehow buried something very cute at the bottom of the stash closet and forgot I had it.

I made this little Schnibbles quilt years ago.  Years ago, as in 2007.  I took a class with Carrie Nelson, at Buggy Barn, and this one one of the projects.  I can't even remember the name of the pattern.  Anyone?  I used a cute collection of charm squares in a Halloween motif, and whipped up this cute little seasonal table topper.

I think what caused me to stick it in the closet was that I thought I should machine quilt it myself.  You see I have it all layered with batting, but haven't done a thing to quilt it.  Procrastiniation rears it's ugly head once again.   It deserves to be enjoyed during October, don't you agree?

  1. I love that quilt! It’s Darcy and it wasn’t a Buggy Barn class, it was when you, me and Thelma stalked Carrie all the way to Wisconsin! Fun times!

  7. The time is right for this little project to come out! As I recall from your previous posts you’ve put in several hours of top stitching. This little topper will be done in no time. And what fun to have traveled to Wisconsin for a workshop/playdate with quilting friends.
    Hope Carrie schedules some workshop in CA as I would love to attend.

  10. What a delightfully fun discovery and just the perfect time of year! You can have this quilted in no time at all. Won’t Miss E love it?!
    Had you found it at another time of year, you might have tucked it away again for “later”.
    Don’t I remember that you have a marvelous OP quilt done in these colors?
    Hugs!

  16. I remember this! I loved it then and I love it now.
    But… I think this was the workshop in Illinois – the Guild in St. Charles. Or Rockford. A city in Illinois. We had dinner with Monique, Joyce and Sue and if memory serves… I think that was the first time you’d met Monique. LOL
    It was a good time. 🙂

  22. It’s far too easy for projects to get buried. Seems like you found this one just in time to complete it for its intended purpose. Hurray!
