September NewFO

I almost got out of September with out a NewFO, but I didn't quite finish a few things so I get to join the NewFo Party again this month.

The calendar says it's fall even if the weather here didn't get the message so I started this little flannel fall quilt.  It's now basted and ready to quilt.

I also have a couple of Halloween table runners to finish up. They are also layered and ready to quilt, but here are the fabrics I'm using.  Don't you just love the spider color dots on the selvage.

Here is a little update on last months NewFO.  I was just starting to trace my Hocupocusville blocks.  This is my homemade light box.  A thick piece of glass (maybe it use to be on a desk top) on top of some covered 2x4's with a couple of lights under it.  This really helps tracing on the darker fabrics.

This month I've painted three blocks and I've started the embroidery so I'm using my darling Needle Nanny that I won last month when I had the luck NewFo number.

This darling needle nanny is fantastic.  That needle does not go anywhere.

My little lama is so adorable!! Thank You So Much Barbara. I also received my very own portrait of Smitty. :)

Head over to Barbara at Cat Patches for more NewFO inspiration.

  1. Your fall flannel looks really cute. I'm sure it will be nice to cuddle up under it! I too like the little spiders on the selvage. Lucky for you that you won that adorable lama!

  2. It really is time to work on those flannel quilts, isn't it? That's a cute one. Hocuspocusville is the cutest thing ever - I love what you're doing with your background fabric!

  3. Glad you like the needle nanny. Great idea for your light box. There's definitely more than one way to skin a cat...although I'm not sure why anyone would want to skin a cat! Your Hocuspocusville looks great. That one is in my to-do pile too.
