sewing Saturday.... peach wine and ghosties

 

to start this week, I finished the Bats and Boos quilt (pattern fatquartershop) complete with binding, sleeve and label. It's on the wall now. Earliest I've ever finished a halloween quilt! 

Along with quilting straight lines to stabilize the quilt, the free motion quilting was leaves, vines and spirals


then some ghost buttons were added for fun texture

can you find 6 of them?

the backing was older holiday fabric, another to make a sleeve, and as it finishes at 40 1/4" square, was just a bit too large for my backing fabric

I pulled the back around to the front while quilting, and liked the look, so I trimmed the top, pulled the back to the front and hand sewed it in place. On three sides, the top wasn't long enough so I put another fabric binding up there.

fussy cut ghosts, fussy cut boo pieced in

The color of the month at Soscrappy is orange so of course my mind turned to wine...

pattern source Hoffman fabrics

I call this one peach wine since it's in a peachy fabric... 









with an angel print for a label... "Heavenly Peach"?

the second bottle is a darker orange fabric with a lovely horse print label...

"stallion apple wine"  ?

the cellar is almost full, just 3 months of color to go, 6 more bottles at least

I spent more time this week painting, the post with my paintings is HERE

and watching elephants, puppies, donkeys and podcasts on youtube. oh and listening to pumpkin jazz 

and writing posts, I Like list on Thursday, painting on Friday and today with you all...

bye, y'all

    Oh my - your wine bottles look amazing together! Each is adorable separately, but together they do make a whole wine cellar. Love them! And your Bats & Boos turned out great. I hope to get mine back soon from the quilter.

    Congrats on the Bats & Boos, it's wonderful. Love seeing all the wine bottles together. I'm originally from Kentucky, so your horse looks like a race horse to me. Maybe Triple Crown Sec? Not exactly wine, of course.

    I love your Halloween quilt! It looks so cool, and I love the ghost button adornments. The wine cellar looks like a fun place to visit, too.

    Bars and Boos is adorable! I love the fussy cut center of the center star - so perfect. Those wine bottles are so great - I'm going to have to try those blocks!

    Happiness is finishing the Halloween quilt early. I think there is only one more month of colors for RSC. Angela says to use Nov and Dec for finishing the quilts (like I've ever done that). But no one says you can't add more colors on your own, especially if you need more blocks to finish.

    Your wine cellar is really getting full. I may have to drop by and polish off a bottle or two for you! Hahaha! They really look good and I loved the pumpkin jazz. That would have made for some good listening while sewing up the orange blocks or quilting the Bats & Boos! I cannot believe how quickly you got yours done. Great job and I hope your weather has improved.

    I’m with Joy and Angie, I’m only could find 5 ghosts! Are you sure there are 6? I love this one so much. Your stallion apple wine bottle, had me thinking..Caballo Rojo. There is a coal mine in our area with that name. It means red horse,I think!
