Halloween & Mendocino

Halloween was great yesterday! Gweniveve is obsessed with The Little Mermaid (which I love since it is my favorite Disney princess) so of course her costume would be easy.

Isn't the wig awesome? My MIL got it for Gwen at DisneyWorld.



She is getting so grown up!



My Mom had made an awesome Candy Corn costume for Gwen in 2008 so we thought it would be perfect for Penelope to use it. Might as well get another use out of it, plus it is adorable.



I wanted to compare the two in the costume so the top row is Gwen and the bottom row is Penelope.



The girls and I. I was looking at my FIL since he was taking pictures to.



Well it turns out that Gwen is dying for me to make her a Mermaid quilt and has been asking for one for a couple of months now so I have decided to try to get as much of Heather Ross Mendocino fabrics as I can to make her a quilt. I am putting this out there since some of you might have some that you are will to part with and swap with me?!?!?! Pretty Please.

I only have a FQ of swimming sisters on white with aqua octopus seen here.

Thanks everyone and I hope that you had an awesome Halloween!

My Ghastly Pillow & Mug Rug

Here is my Ghastly pillow. Should I keep it or is it to Ghastly???



The back is alittle less Ghastly but still....



To bad it is a gift for someone as I could really use some Ghastliness in my home.


 
I decided to add just a little by making this Ghastly Mug Rug. This poor little girl is so alone.



Not anymore,  she has Mr. Rootbeer to keep her company.


 
These sure put me in the mood for Halloween, but I am completely stuck on what to have the girls be for Halloween. I want to make the costumes if possible. ?!?!?!?!?!?

Time for Halloween

It started to sprinkle today which is amazing since just the other day it was in the upper 90's but I took advantage of it today and took my car in to get an oil change, which gave me the excuse of staying inside and sewing.  I have been dying to get out my fabric from Alexander Henry called The Gastlies! They are for a gift for my MIL best friend who lives Halloween year around. Her house and her office at work scream Nightmare before Christmas and The Corpse Bride so when I saw this fabric I called my MIL and told her it was perfect. Here is just a peek.





I also joined in a Quilting Bee Block group, Bee Outside The Box.  It had been along time since I joined one and I had missed it. Here is the first block, a mini sampler block Flying Geese. It is 16"x16". I used this tutorial if you would like to make one yourself.
