October All Through The House

All things fall, a photo collage of some of the decorations that I've made through the years to celebrate October and Halloween. These little quilts and objects remind me of where I was and what I was doing at that time in my life, the little witch in the upper left corner is the oldest, I made her in 1993 and the rest of the items followed in an almost annual succession. I am on my way to Des Moines this morning, I'll be at the APQS training center next week attending long arm instruction and maintenance classes, stopping along the way to visit family. Rest assured, I'll post from the road and bring you up-to-the-minute reports of all the activities and sights (quilt shops?!) encountered on the journey!

Life is Good!

    I love all these projects you've done! I realize I need more Halloween decorating around here. And I'm impressed by your Photoshop knowledge. Very nice!

    Safe travels and enjoy your long-arm classes. Sundance will be eagerly awaiting your return!
