Spooky Halloween
Row 1, Block 1
In progress
5/9/2016

I started working on the first block of Spooky Halloween. First, I cut the fabric and hand pieced the hexis together. I have 2 hexis left to piece. Then I’ll applique them onto the background fabric. I would really like to get this block done this week. The blocks will be 6.5″ unfinished. My goal for this project is to finish a block each week. Since there are 5 blocks per row, I’d like to get 2 done in one of the weeks.

Last week’s to do list:

Raining Cats and Dogs … Finish the machine quilting on this on my domestic and get going on hand quilting this baby… done
Hand work – Work a bit on A Rainbow Garden … done
Knit – keep working on the Rosie Hat … not done
Cross Stitch – work on the embroidery for the top border and the first row of the 1st page of Farmland! … done
Moon Glow – I don’t think I’ll be working on this this week. I want to focus on Raining Cats and Dogs, so I’ll probably skip this this week … not done
Missing Ivy – Same – I want to focus on Raining Cats and Dogs so I’ll skip this this week … I actually worked a bit on this this weekend and finished step 10
Celtic Solstice – Same – I want to focus on Raining Cats and Dogs so I’ll skip this this week … I pieced together some bits…
