| Halloween wall hanging |
Even though I made this many years ago I thought I would share it today as Halloween is fast approaching. I found a pattern in the Fons & Porter magazine for a Wonky Jacks quilt. I thought it looked like a lot of fun but also a lot of work. I also had gotten an appliqué kit with Halloween designs.
The kit was from Dalco Home Sew and included all the appliqué pieces pre-cut. It also included the machine embroidery designs on a floppy disc. I did the appliqué designs on a fun Jack-o-Lantern print. The Wonky Jacks were paper pieced. Instead of paper piecing the candy corn blocks, I used my Kalido-Ruler to cut them.
To quilt the layers, I used invisible thread and did zigzags in the sashing strips and free motion in the blocks. I then embellished it with some fun Halloween buttons that I removed the shank from and glued in place.
I love pulling it out every Halloween and hanging it up, it makes me smile.
