Spooky!

It is spooky how motivating blogging can be.

Less than a week ago I declared I would finish this one and 

ta-dah, albeit I only had one more block to fuse and stitch.

But  now a UFO is a flimsy!

Needs some buttons added when I get home and then off to the quilter.

Merrie Halloween by Buttermilk Basin. 

Finished 2 out of 3 panels of my Halloween Campers, 

also by Buttermilk Basin.

Changed the design of this one a tad...

it will hang vertically instead of being a long runner.

Unfortunately, it will not get finished while I am at the cabin.

I did not bring enough of the lime green wool with me.

We are headed to the Rocky Mountains for a week so I prepped some handwork to take along.

Once I stitch it down with wool thread, lots of fun embellishing will be added.

This will be bordered with fall fabrics and become a runner, 

again, designed by Buttermilk Basin.

Enough work on UFOs!

On to a new project...City Bucket and this is my first block.

Ran out of Plum Marmalade thread, so I will have to finish the bullion knots when more arrives.

I bought the pattern for this 2 years ago while at market from

Amy McClellan of American Quilting in Orem, Utah.

She calls it her 'Market Bucket.'

Then I saw this photo on Pinterest.

Apparently, Kerry Green was the original designer

 and I love the bright fabrics and contemporary designs she used, 

so that is how I will make mine. 

She graciously shared her original drawings of the 'little blocks' used in her City Bucket.

 I will use a combination of both her designs and Amy's for my bucket.
