Friday Bundle Batch {Remember the Ghoul Times}

Hi there! I hope you all had a good week! I am REALLY EXCITED about this week's Friday Bundle Batch, for a couple of reasons:

1. I love Halloween fabric - I think even more than Christmas fabric! *gasp* ;)

2. I hand picked this bundle while I was out visiting the shop a few months back - and have been patiently waiting to show my bundle off!  ;)

Remember The Ghoul Times

Remember The Ghoul Times

This week's bundle is all about Halloween!   Lindsey Weight hand-selected all the prints in this cute bundle!

You'll receive 1 Fat Quarter of each:

1. Fangtastic Black/Orange Pumpkins - Henry Glass
2. Essentials Criss Cross Orange - Wilmington
3. Swiss Dots Tonal Black on Black - Riley Blake
4. Candelabra Starry Night Orange - Free Spirit
5. Marble Swirls Jet - Moda
6. Grunge Basics Pumpkin - Moda
7. Fright Night Black Spider Webs With Metallic - Henry Glass

I had sooo much fun picking out this bundle - and even more fun coming up with a quilt pattern for these fun Halloween fabrics!

 "Remember The Ghoul Times Mini Quilt"

This is a simple little quilt made from two different blocks and some sashing.  You could easily make this into a bigger quilt - by just adding more blocks! I think a full sized quilt would look absolutely fabulous! 

I used the focal print for the pumpkins and I just love how these cute little pumpkins turned out! :) 

For quilting, I did some stars to mimic the black and white star print - and added some loopy loops! The white thread really stands out against the black border - which I think is pretty cute for this quilt! 

Let's get started!

To make this runner you will need:

Supplies: (CLICK ON LINKS)

1 yard of Kona Cotton White

Halloween Mystery Quilt {Week 1}

Hi there! You guys, I have been SOOO excited for this day to come!  We have had such an awesome response to this Quilt Along --- and I feel super grateful you guys are joining me on this fun little sewing adventure for the next month!  Let's get started!

If you haven't picked up a kit - we only have a handful left! Purchase HERE

A few things before we begin: 

• Please read ALL instructions before starting.

• Please measure twice and cut once - I have made the cutting instructions very specific  - and there IS NOT a lot of room for cutting errors - so PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

• I am posting the blocks for the quilt in no particular order - to keep this EXTRA MYSTERIOUS! 

• Accuracy is KEY!  This quilt requires you to be very accurate with your piecing - A 1/4" quilting foot is recommended for piecing.

• I have made the entire quilt already (and it is sooo cute!!) - and so all blocks and piecing have been tested. 

• This is all about having fun!! This was a joy to design and it was even more fun piecing this quilt! I can't wait for the final reveal! 

Alright, I think you guys are ready to get started!

First, I have included a cutting sheet.  This sheet is cutting for the ENTIRE QUILT.  It is very helpful if you mark all your pieces with the letters I have assigned each piece.  Please measure twice and cut once! There is nothing worse than making a cutting mistake! So pay careful attention please!

Friday Bundle Batch {Plum Pudding}

Hi there! Happy Friday! I hope you all had a good week! We have a very pretty bundle to share with you today! Be sure to scroll down to see what I made using today's Friday Bundle Batch:

Plum Pudding

Plum Pudding

This weeks bundle features the colors of plum & gray - we love this color combo!

You'll receive 1 Fat Quarter of each:

1. Mix & Match Jessica Floral in Wineberry - Benartex/Contempo
2. Candelabra Hallow's Dot Cloud - Free Spirit
3. Pacific Fireflies Berry - Robert Kaufman
4. Bee Inspired Little Honeycomb Dove Grey - Moda
5. Mix & Match Jessica Floral in Petal Pink - Benartex/Contempo
6. Cool Cats Fuchsia Stripes - Windham
7. Swiss Dots Raspberry - Riley Blake
8. Marble Swirls Grey - Moda

I am LOVING this bundle - Purple and Gray are so lovely together! I had so much fun sewing with these pretty fabrics!

When I got this bundle - I immediately thought I needed to make some zipper pouches.  These fabrics are so pretty, I thought some lace zippers with this fabric would be gorgeous! 

LACE ZIPPER POUCH TUTORIAL HERE

LACE ZIPPERS HERE

To make a set of three pouches you will need:  (CLICK ON LINKS)

1 Plum Pudding Fat Quarter Bundle 

1.5 Yards of SF101 Interfacing

2 - 12"  Lace Zippers

1 - 8" Lace Zipper

LACE ZIPPER POUCH TUTORIAL HERE

***There is a size chart in the tutorial - the largest zipper pouch calls for a piece that is 23" long - your fat quarter will be about 2" short - so make your large pouch size 11" x 21"  - this will make your large pouch a tiny bit smaller - but I think it will work out just fine! ***

Here is the large pouch - I used the darker purple as the outside and the gray polkadot for the inside.  I used a white zipper for this one - but you could also use black, or even maybe a green would look pretty for some contrast! 

For the medium sized pouch I use the gray butterfly print and paired it with the stripe.  I used a black zipper for this one and I LOVE the contrast! It's so pretty! 

And lastly, for the small pouch I used the light purple floral print and the gray swirl for the inside.  I used a white zipper for this one.  

I had so much fun making these pouches!  I hope you enjoy making some of your own!! :)
