This is my youngest grandson. Isn't he adorable? He is 9 months old today, his first Halloween.
I love Halloween! I think it is because, since my birthday is so close to Halloween, my birthday parties always had a Halloween theme. When I was a little girl I always had a Halloween birthday cake, and my cousins and I would go Trick or Treating. As a teenager, I would have a Halloween birthday cake, sleepovers, and vists to the Haunted Houses.
As an adult, I love to decorate my house for Halloween. It's nothing too spooky, but still fun: quilted fun. I thought you might enjoy seeing some of my Halloween quilts, and how I decorate with them.
Pumpkin Diva's
Ghosts
Three Amigo's Table Runner and my Candy Corn Hurricane candle holder.
Look Who's 40! My Halloween Birthday Party when I was 40. My friend Terry made it for me as a signature quilt. Everyone that came to my party, and who I saw that day, including the doctor that delivered my first grandson on my 40th birthday, signed my wallhanging. I even took it to Louisiana to let my family sign it.
Happy Jack, another Pat Sloan design. He hangs above my mantle along with more candy corn hurricane candle holders.
A cute quilt I didn't have to make. I found it at Cracker Barrel a few years ago. I made the three pumpkins in a ceramics class I took in DuBois, PA in 1992. It's amazing what all us quilters/crafters can do!
This is Happy Jacks. They hang behind my couch. I found this quilt in the September 1999 issue of Fons and Porter. There were some Bad Jacks in the quilt design, but since my family is always known as the "smileys", we couldn't have any jacks with frowns!
This is the quilt that used to hang with the Pumpkin Diva's before I made the Pumpkin Diva's quilt. It is a Thimbleberries design. I love them sitting on the fence.
This is my cat, Izzie! Isn't he pretty sitting with a pumpkin!
Well, I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of my Halloween decorations and quilts. I make a new one every year. After a while they accumulate and start to decorate your home. I love it! I would show you the Halloween Turning Twenty, but it is on the kids' bed right now (and it's not made up!).

ReplyDeleteAlso, love all of your quilts !!! Aren't you PRODUCTIVE !!!
....And, cute kitty!
Still wandering through meeting Halloween party bloggers. How fun to see all your Halloween quilts. I have so many quilty ideas and they never seem to manifest in actual projects. Grandson is cute, Izzie is cute too. Mom mom was born on Halloween but she collects Santas. I was born nearer Christmas but I collect witches - go figure.
ReplyDeleteHi, Amanda! I've enjoyed a nice long visit to your blog. Wonderful Halloween decorations! Thanks for visiting my blog. Yes, I went to school in Shreveport during most of my school years and taught in Shreveport when we moved back to this area.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for visiting and taking the time to comment!
