The end is near

I am really near the end of the design phase of this Halloween quilt. A lot of the pumpkin faces have been painted, the window mullions have been drawn, and the raven has been chosen and placed. Pumpkins have been known to fall off and disappear into the black hole in my sewing room. I have had to re-cut some of the smaller pumpkins. 

I even started cleaning up the sewing room and putting away fabrics that I did not use. It's a little sad. It's almost like nearing the end of a great novel. Although my husband keeps suggesting more things to add....a snake, a spider, a rat. Yikes!!!!!! Maybe I need a werewolf hiding by the house....

Now I have to start thinking about how I am going to quilt this and what title I will come up with.

• "This is Halloween" from Nightmare before Christmas
  
• "Season of the Witch" by Donovan
• "Night creatures calling"
• "Under the moon light"
• "Something lurking in the dark"
• "It's close to midnight"
• "Shadow of the moon"
• "Shrouded by the night"
  

Quilt is 30 in wide by 45 in tall

I made my first artisan loaf of bread for the season. It was delicious.

 

 

I made my husband an upside down apple pie for his birthday. You can see he already had a huge piece.
