The weekend before this last, Dave and I had to head to the big city for a celebration of life of the father of one of his good friends. On the way home, we made a bit of a detour to Mom’s so I could drop off my Aug-tober accomplishments.

I knew I would have time to get to her place and quilt them anytime soon, and I really wanted to get them in the shop before the Big Spooky.

Happily, Mom was more than willing to work her magic on them. She finished the first of them last week

Admittedly, it was a little hard to put this one in the shop – because I absolutely adore it. If I didn’t already have a quilt with these fabrics, I’d be keeping it! The centre panel, and some of the prints are from the Kitty Corn line. A few of the other prints are from Owl-o-ween. Both are out of print now, but I amazingly still have pile in my stash!

But back to the quilt itself.

I had so much fun picking out fabric for the friendship stars in the frame. It’s a simple concept with a big finish and a really fun way to frame out a panel. It does take a little quilt math, and time with the graph paper, but its worth it.

Mom did an all-over pumpkin and leaf design for the quilting – can you believe she does it all free hand??? And if you look closely at the cat, you can see she did a little custom work there…

Including a little spiderweb behind the wee spider!

The whole thing is backed with a soft, plaid flannel that matches the colours in the quilt!

That was a lucky find at the fabric shop, let me tell you!

And now its in the shop and could be yours!
