"Ghost Under a Full Moon" is finished.

Voila!  The last of my Halloween wall hangings is done for this year.

Ghost Under a Full Moon measures 11.5" by 16 inches.  I really love ghosts for Halloween and also black cats.

Its been a lovely day in the high 60s and sunny.  Last nite it got rather chilly.  I went out this morning dressed in a quilted light winter jacket and it was perfect.   I think we dropped into the high 40sF last nite.  A long-sleeved corduroy shirt would have been too light.  Penny and I enjoyed a brisk morning walk.

The week looks like more of the same and I see many brown leaves have fallen over the lawn.  I expect we will have our usual fall colors bursting around Columbus Day, October 10th.  Fall is so lovely here in Maine every year.

Have a nice day.

Another Sewing Day

I sewed today and not much else.
I made out a list of foods I should eat and amounts of same since I have to cut back on sugar according to my doctor.  I am getting close to the diabetic range of numbers so he wants me to cut back.  Not eliminate entirely, just enjoy my sweets occasionally.  That will be tough because I love my peanut butter balls, peanut butter fudge, chocolate fudge and my chocolate walnut clusters that I make to enjoy even while sharing some with friends in the building.
I'm thinking I will make a batch only when a Holiday is coming and share most of them with others and eat very few of them myself.
I understand that carbohydrates mean a lot when it comes to sugar numbers so friends have been advising me about that, too.  I surely welcome their input.
One of them is sending me a chart on Counting my Carbs which will be useful.

In the meantime, I shopped for foods that are healthier for me.

......And I am sewing to keep me too busy to think of sticking candy in my mouth.  LOL

 As you can see above, my latest wall hanging, Ghost Under a Full Moon, is pinned now and ready for quilting tomorrow.  I should be able to finish it up the same day with a black border.

Next on the agenda are the few Thanksgiving wall hangings.  I have turkeys and a cornucopia drawn for those.

For Xmas, so far, I have snowmen and a penguin  on the drawing board.

Have a good day.

"Ghost Under a Full Moon" wallhanging is tacked down

I am working on the last Halloween wall hanging today and hope to have it finished by this weekend.

Ghost Under a Full Moon is tacked down so that's it for today.  I will try to work on the satin-stitching tomorrow and finish this up this weekend so all Halloween things are done.

Next up, Thanksgiving wall hangings.

Have a good Day.

"Cat in a Pumpkin Patch" is finished.

I feel good today.  I finished another Halloween wall hanging.

I really like this one with the cat and the pumpkin against the gold background.  This one measures 17.5"W by 11.5" L.  Another wall hanging fit for the Halloween season.

Now I have just one more to work on and I'm done with this Holiday.  Ghost under a Full Moon is in progress.
Have a nice day.

Another Halloween Wall Hanging in the Works

I just can't help myself.  I had to get another Halloween WH started.  I have a daughter who celebrated a Birthday last week and will see her soon so I thought I would give her one of my Wall Hangings to decorate her door.
I decided to make another, this one "Ghost Under a Full Moon" with a pumpkin visible.

This is the pattern I drew for it.  I am just loving making ghosts.  Anyway, this one will have a purple background.

Here's the ghost's body sewn onto the background.  Its a beginning.   I still have to finish the "Cat in the Pumpkin Patch" but was having trouble on a decision to add vines or not.  Still undecided.

Have a good day.

Kitty in a Pumpkin Wall Hanging Finished

Today was a good day.  I finished my wall hanging "Kitty in a Pumpkin" so that's a good thing.  I changed the name from "Cat in a"....since I have another with a fully grown cat in a pumpkin patch and the titles were too closely related.

The lighter bits in the pumpkin is not the fabric, but the lighting.  The orange is all one shade.
This little guy measures 10.5 x 14 inches.

So far this wall hanging is pinned and ready for quilting.  I might just add some vines twisting around on the background.  I'm still thinking about that and how to finish it.  This one is closer to 17 inches wide by 11 inches long at this point.  Adding the binding at the end will determine its finished size.

Have a good day.

Both Wall Hangings are Tacked Down.

I worked on my two wall hangings again today and have got both tacked down and pieces all in place.

Here's "Cat in a Pumpkin" all pieces in place and ready for the satin-stitching.

And "Cat in a Pumpkin Patch" is also tacked and ready to be satin-stitched.
I should have these done by this weekend.  Crossing my fingers that woks out.

Have a good day.
