Halloween Quaker Cross Stitch: Halloween Memories

 

I finished stitching Halloween Quaker from the Halloween Memories book ... I love it! This is the first quaker style pattern that I have finished and I enjoyed each stitch!

Halloween Quaker is a monochromatic stitch so it was a perfect piece for choosing a variegated thread - Classic Colorworks: Argyle Socks (a lovely blend of gray to purple).

A bit about the Halloween Memories Book: 

Check out the flip-through on my Instagram Reel (here)

Halloween Memories is fabulous book by Susan Ache and published by It's Sew Emma. Included are 9 cross stitch patterns PLUS 6 quilt patterns that can be used for any holiday by choosing different fabric.  Each of the cross stitch designs are smaller designs so you still have time to finish at least one before Halloween!

Halloween Memories Book available HERE

Supplies:

• Halloween Memories Book
• 32 Count Vintage Stormy Night Lugana
• (2) Classic Colorworks Floss:  Argyle Socks 
• 6"x6" Black Frame - purchased at Amazon

Frame details: I purchased a solid black 6" x 6" frame from at Amazon and let my 10 year old "distress" the frame with sand paper - she LOVED it!

Are you making a project from the Halloween Memories Book?

Moonbeams Charity Quilt and Stitch Along: Release 3

 

Moonbeams  - Release Three:  Peace and Plenty 

It's time for Release 3 of the  Fat Quarter Shop  Moonbeams Charity Quilt and Stitch Along. Fat Quarter Shop generously releases both the quilt and cross stitch patterns for free each month and would appreciate a donation to the Make-A-Wish of Central and South Texas. 

Download Moonbeams Release three is now available (here)

Donate to: Make-A-Wish of Central and South Texas (donate directly here)

Let's chat about quilting first. Keep on reading for cross stitch....I made another super cute tiny pillow.

--- Moonbeams: Peace & Plenty Blocks ---

This month we are making (4) Moonbeams Peace & Plenty Quilt Blocks (pattern here).  Fat Quarter Shop has Moonbeams Quilt Kits available with Strawberry Lemonade fabric by Sherri & Chelsi...it's super cute! 

As it's fun to see different version of the Moonbeams Quilt,  I'm quilting with Old Glory by Lella Boutique. (also available at Fat Quarter Shop)

Quarter Square Triangles and Flying Geese Tips for perfect blocks: 

• I use my AccuQuilt GO! 3.5" unfinished (3" finished) quarter square triangle die or 12" Mix & Match Qube  to cut perfect blocks each time.  This is my preferred method as trimming isn't necessary so it's also the quickest!
• OR use  It's Sew Emma 3.5" unfinished (3" finished) quarter square triangle foundation paper

• I use my  AccuQuilt GO! 3" x 6" finished flying geese die or 12" Mix & Match Qube
• OR use It's Sew Emma 3" x 6" flying geese foundation paper

Supplies: clickable links

• Moonbeams Ohio Star Blocks (pattern here)
• Moonbeams Quilt Kit
• Moonbeams Backing Kit
• Moonbeams Foundation Paper Kit

Melanie's version 

• Old Glory Fabric by Lella Boutique

---Moonbeams Charity Cross Stitch Along---

You may have noticed, my project looks a lot different from the original Moonbeams Charity Stitch. Instead of stitching the Moonbeams as one large project, I'm going to stitch the motifs separately and make a coordinating pillow each month!  

This sweet pillow is 4" x 4" and so cute! It will be perfect for Patriotic decor! It's so fun how much different a pattern can look when you change the colors. I  love how both of these pillows coordinate together!
