Quilt Name:  Halloween Hoot
Quilt Information:  In the fall of 2020 I joined the Spellbound Mystery Facebook group. Twelve designers provided the free patterns for wool appliqué. I only changed a couple of blocks from the original pattern but I kept the “theme” of the block. The blocks were a lot of fun to make and embellish with stitchery, buttons and trim. And I finished it just in time for Halloween!


Quilt Maker:  Ellen Eastman
Quilt Name:  Patchwork Pumpkin Pillow
Quilt Information:  I made this last year for one of my daughters for her birthday.

Quilt Maker:  Terri Budesa
Quilt Name:  2020
Quilt Information:  I saw this skull fabric at Boersma’s Sewing Center in McMinnville. I loved it but didn’t buy it at the time. I went back after Christmas and found that all the Halloween fabric had been moved to their sale area down in the basement. I grabbed it along with some of the coordinates. I made this quilt-as-you-go table runner. It goes together quickly. It represented how I felt about 2020 in general so that’s how it got its name.

It has a quilted spider under the bats and little ghosts in the blue boarder.

Quilt Name:  Bewitched
Quilt Information:  This is a wall hanging I made years ago for my mother’s door when she lived in a memory care facility. I made one for each month of the year to help her know where she lived. I don’t remember where I found this pattern.


Quilt Maker:  Ellen Eastman
Quilt Name:  Halloween at Hogwarts
Quilt Information:  I was working at Rosebud Quilts & Cottons when this Halloween panel came in. Sharon, one of my co-workers, thought it would make up nicely as an Attic Window quilt. Using the Attic Windows book by Diana Leone and Cindy Walter as inspiration we made a couple of these. It was fun and different. In retrospect we should have used at least two panels per quilt so the proportions would work out better (and we would have sold out of the panels sooner!)
