Happy Halloween! (Well, almost!)

October is my favorite month and it's just around the corner! I put the finishing touches on my latest pattern "Happy Halloween" and it's now available in the shop and as a download on Craftsy.

This little pumpkin kitty is hanging out with her two mousey buddies and they are ready for some fall weather and trick or treating.  I'm a Halloween baby, born Oct. 31st, so this particular holiday is a whole lot of fun for me - I mean, who wouldn't want a reason to dress up and get candy on their birthday!

This beginner friendly wall hanging is a machine applique treat. It's a great project to decorate with or to make as a gift for your favorite Halloween fanatic or kitty collector. You can always customize the border and backing with great Halloween fabric, or customize the yellow cat fabric to match your favorite cat breed. I used free motion machine quilting on my border and love the way it turned out.

Happy Halloween would also make a great little baby quilt or play mat for any other Halloween babies out there! It finishes at 26"x31".

The Wobbles Collection

Talk about adorable! I created the Wobbles Collection as a special quilt for my grandson. There are 15 applique characters (with more on the way!). I repeated 1 block in different fabrics to create my finished 16 character quilt. These little applique characters have so much personality. This photo shows my quilt assembled with blue sashing and binding. I used yellow for the background and I was able to use up lots of little scraps for the actual piecing.  Fusible webbing holds everything in place so you can machine applique around the edges easily. I chose coordinating thread colors in both matching and slightly darker shades to make each element stand out.

Wobbles Collection Quilt

But you could also make your quilt or project by repeating one character in different fabrics (ex: all clowns, or all chefs) or a choose set of characters to repeat (ex: cowboys/Indians or cops/robbers) to create a fun custom themed quilt of your own!

You can make the blocks into pillows, wall hangings, a crib quilt or toddler bed quilt, or any other items for your little one's nursery or bedroom. Because there are so many options to customize and complete a Wobbles project in your own way, these patterns are for each 9" x 12" finished character block only. I have not supplied finishing instructions for a completed quilt or project, just for the blocks themselves.
You can find all the Wobbles patterns online on Craftsy or pick them up in person at Sunday Best Quiltworks. Be sure to share your versions of the Wobbles with us. Post pictures of your work to our Facebook page and tag us #SBQ. We love Show and Tell and can't wait to see your creativity!

I hope your little ones love them as much as my grandson does!

Hugs,
Linda
