Trick or Treat!

Whew!! What a whirlwind of activity this past week and weekend. With the help of others (Mary, Toni, Mom, Dad and Paul) the AlphaBuddies quilt for Andover Fabrics it finished, several other quilts started and the preparations for the Murty Birthday/Halloween party were all completed. I even had time to make cupcakes!


Saturday Paul and I hosted the fall Murty Birthday Bash with a Halloween theme. Costumes were encouraged but not required. Because we live in a rural area we don’t get many (I should say not any) trick or treaters and we miss seeing all the kids dressed up. A lot of times we aren’t even home for the festivities because of attending Fall Quilt Market so this year we decided to sign up for fall birthdays and make it a Halloween party. There were lots of great costumes and it was a lot of fun, the perfect end to the business of getting ready for Quilt Market. I could go on with a list of the “special guests” we had but I’ll just post a picture of the cute little lamb that came to visit on the AlphaBuddies quilt that had been finished during the week.

Sunday Mom and Dad came out - while Dad and Paul installed a door, Mom and I started to sew on a few of the additional AlphaBuddies quilts. After lupper Dad and Paul helped for awhile in the studio. Dad fussy cut the fabric panel into 5 1/2" squares and Paul ironed and even took out a few of my mistakes with the "reverse sewing apparatus".



I leave for Quilt Market on Wed so I won’t be posting anything for the next week but will have lots to share when I get back.





Happy Halloween to everyone!
