Quick post

I bought the spelling bee book by Lori Holt. I have wanted this for a while but was too expensive to order from the U.S and then Australian shops had Black Friday sales. I ordered it for 40% off from Cotton Factory in Ballarat.
 

I am not happy with the house block at the moment so have started another mini for my friend. She loves trees!

Another Skull

I finished another skull and again I love it!!!

I finished quilting the purple twin quilt so I decided to make another house for my mini and I don't like it. I thought the orange background might pop but I really don't like this block. I am having trouble finding combinations I like so I might make a mini with 6 houses.

Leaders and enders

I have been sewing triangles cut off from quilts as my leaders and enders project but now I have a heap of them. So I am sewing some them into a Indian Summer quilt. My squares are 2.5 inches instead of 3.5 but I think it will be a good baby quilt. I am using the squares from my nieces quilts to make a quilt for another nieces baby due in January.
Here is the link to the free pattern.

October OMG


Edit.  So I was so focused on finishing this that I linked it to the November goal not the October finishing post. I even forgot to make a November goal. Hope to be back on track for December but we will see how that goes!

Made my October goal with 6 hours to spare. I finished piecing the Hawthorne Quilt. It is meant to have another row but at 64 inches square I think it is big enough especially since I have to quilt it myself. I am very happy with it as I think brown and gold are not great colours but look good with the white. I don't think I will find a backing to match the top so I might order some newsprint backing fabric which will work with white thread for quilting.

Now I am going to reward myself with sewing a skull.
