I've actually been getting things done in my sewing room, but don't have many photos to show for it. We got out the Halloween placemats at our house, and I love the freestyle letters inspired by Tonya that I added to this one. Our guild is having a song quilt challenge, and I hope to make something with freestyle letters for that. Speaking of Halloween, I have a fuzzy black dog costume and a shiny red robot costume on the top of my to-do list. I have the dog almost complete, but the flying fuzz makes me sew with the vacuum by my side.
Here's a photo of my finished quilt from our guild's Throw Me A Curve mystery workshop with Mark Lipinski. We all made the same blocks, and then saw many different quilts created with the varied arrangements. A fun idea! He suggested I over-dye it with tan, add fluffy batting, tie it and embellish with buttons. Since I was not wedded to any ideas, I decided to do it a-la-Mark just as he suggested. It's a nice snuggly quilt, but not my favorite. But it's done, so I can share it with the other workshop participants at our next meeting.

I like the halloween placemat. The quilt is nice and looks so cozy and inviting. I am always concerned with buttons on quilts though. I wonder if they will hang up on things. Just one of my quirks.
great placemat. the halloween costumes sound like great fun too.
