Hauntingly sweet

First: A Happy 4th of July to all my American readers! Hope you have a fun, fabulous day.

Second: There’s no Tiny Needle post today. I spent the majority of the weekend sewing (more on that in a minute) and when I wasn’t sewing, I was working on cleaning and prepping the house for window installation week! Yes, that’s right! We are finally getting ALL the windows replaced. It’s a big job, and it’s going to take all week. I took the week off work so I don’t have to stress about moving things around as they progress from window to window. There’s 14 in all, plus a sliding glass door.

Since the house is going to be in dissary all week, I felt no guilt about taking the majority of the weekend to sew. I certainly won’t get anything done while the window guys are here.

So, first up was finishing the Haunted Hallowe’en Mystery.

It just needed everything sewn together, and then a border added. The border fabric should have been the same plum star fabric I used for the background, but I didn’t have enough. It was leftover from Fright Night, and I just squeaked by with enough for the background.

So we went with a plain black border. This one is going to be a wall hanging for me.

And Burton, of course! There’s no way he’s letting this one leave the house.

    New windows! How exciting! I was very sad to see my old windows go but I do love my new ones. They are so easy to clean.
    Your Halloween wall hanging is perfect! Those little stars are adorable.

  3. The Haunted Hallowe’en Mystery wall hanging is beautiful! (And it’s not even quilted yet.) The black border works just great. How exciting that you guys are getting all the windows replaced. I hope everything goes smoothly and the chaos is less than you are expecting.
