Finishing Up Halloween!

I had promised myself that I would finish the Halloween quilt that I started several years ago by Halloween this year.

And guess what???

I did it!!


Up close of the quilting



I took off the few embellishments that I had added so the long arm quilting wouldn't get caught on them.

I haven't added any of them back yet, so maybe it doesn't really qualify as finished yet....

Any Whoo

I don't really have a place to hang the quilt as a display, and I thought if someone ended up using it as a quilt to warm up with, the buttons and snaps might keep it from feeling cozy. I'll have to think about it.


I also finished up a little felted black cat.  I used dental floss for his whiskers and gave him orange eyes and a little bell.

That about does it for Halloween for the Xavier Ct. House.

Are you still decorating for Halloween?

  15. It is really cute!!

    I don't decorate for any of the holidays. I used to...I asked my hubby if it bothered him that I don't do stuff like that and he told me he was fine with it and it saves us money to boot. Whew...I dodged that one! ;)
