This quilt block is a corner block. There is a dark green grass patch in the bottom right of the square. On that grass patch are two jack-o-lanterns. The one in front is the traditional bright orange pumpkin with a spooky black face drawn on it with pen. There is also some thread or pen indicating a bit of a vine on it. Behind it is a tall squash that's more yellow. On it is a cuter spooky face with more rounded features. The top of this squash has some orange on it. This is all against a blue salmon-patterned background.

Block-A-Day 287 – Stingy Jack

In Ireland, people started to carve turnips into scary faces to frighten away Jack. When the Irish immigrants came to the USA they started carving pumpkins. My favorite part? The roasted pumpkin seeds!

This quilt block shows a leafless tree, made of brown fabric, against a blue background with a cloudy full moon behind it. The full moon appears to be made of a ring of fabric/stitching with a filled in body of yellow pen. To the left at the base of the tree is a black cat. The cat is outlined with white stitching and white pen on black fabric to resemble a cat sitting facing to the right.

In the meantime, she’s pretty happy with living with this tree. Lots of food scurrying about to feed and entertain her. There is a little girl on the street that comes over at least once a day to pet her and give her little treats. She brings a water bottle and pours it into a dish so Smudge has a drink.

The new Christmas fabrics are FABULOUS, as well as the new project from Hoffman. They’re different, including three different panels that are digital prints that could make stunning wall hangings. We also have an advent calendar that is super cute by Henry Glass. It is cute, cute! Halloween hasn’t yet hit us though, and we do still have a selection of Halloween still looking at us in the shop.
