Happy Halloween my friends! May the candy fairy bring you many Reese's Cups and no licorice!
Not new but favorites, a couple of Halloween quilts [and Mo!].
*** *** ***
This is a vintage quilt, c. 1920-1940. It is signed, has original pencil markings for the hand quilting. I've never seen another like it.
And this is a time span quilt: very prim Devil's Claw blocks, from eBay. The orange and cheddars are hand dyed on various fabrics, some quite coarse, one cotton sateen. I mended them and set them together.
Love the pumpkin quilting my quilter did!
The back is feedsacks.
Witchy label.
Mo likes it!
And here is Mo in many poses as he learns to wear his little lion costume! The parade was rained out but if we get some cute Trick or Treat pics later I will add them. We started with a very big maned costume, that also had furry feet but Mo was terrified of the long hair and hid under the sofa! [Well, his head, his butt no longer fits under there.]
Trick or Treat!
Frito feet!
Give me something good to eat!
RAWRRRR!
Happy Halloween!

Great post! Love, love the quilts! Yes, the pumpkin quilting, so clever. I probably wouldn't have noticed had you not mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteOh, Mo. So funny. I would have liked to see him with his butt not fitting under the couch, lol.
Ugh, scary memories of Sandy for sure. Happy all is good.
Happy Halloween!

lolrof!!! Love that costume!!
ReplyDeleteLove both of those quilts! Perfect for the season. Poor Mo, I guess once a year he needs to tolerate being a cat, however ferocious! That's the real humiliation!
ReplyDeleteROAR!!! Love Mo's costume! And that cat quilt is amazing. May you have a very Happy Halloween. :) Kit
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Mo's costume is adorable. Well, lets just say that he looks good in anything. Beautiful quilts! Boo!
ReplyDeleteI adore that kitty cat quilt - oh so charming! Your rescued baskets are lovely too. And Mo - Ha!
ReplyDeleteLove the cat quilt, so different! And the Halloween quilt is very cool. Mo looks ADORABLE in the lion mane with the Halloween trim added!!
ReplyDeleteVery glad the storm was not worse and the flooding wasn't too bad. I hope it didn't do too much damage to the still-recovering beach.
