Spooky Minis

I love Halloween – it’s my favorite holiday. With a costume and a little make up I can pretend to be something or someone else for a day ?

We don’t have any kids or grand-kids around to spook but I still like having a little Halloween decor around the house.

Pillows are always great for holiday pops of color:

Mug rugs for my morning coffee:

Smiling Greeters for the front door:

I entered a Halloween mini quilt in a local contest . The category I chose was “Make Modern” . I selected the quilt block Dutchman puzzle and attempted to give it a modern spin.

Traditionally the Dutchman puzzle is arranged as in the first picture below.

I simply rotated the direction of the flying geese to get the secondary friendship star design instead of the pinwheel.

Viola…my entry! I purposely put the Jack Skellington fabric on top to give the illusion the text was coming from them!

How cool?

Happy Sewing & Quilting!
