It's the Great Pumpkin!

 In August I attended a Boo-Cation sewing retreat in Connecticut with quilting friends, old and new.  My friend Maria runs these retreats and does a great job.  She put together several Halloween kits we could choose to make during the weekend.

My eyes spied a kit containing Daiwabo fabric and I immediately knew which quilt I was going to make:

I finished the top at the August quilt retreat, but didn't start machine quilting until September's COVID hit.  COVID hits me like a nuclear warhead (we've been through this three times now) but I was bored, so I asked my husband to help me to my sewing room and to help me as I prepped this little quilt for machine quilting.  I hoped I could handle sitting, coughing, and doing some simple walking foot quilting without his assistance, and it paid off!

I used my FabuLux Meditation thread for the quilting; it picked up on the taupes in the Daiwabo fabrics beautifully and the sheen of the thread makes my heart go pitter-pat.

I finally bound the quilt and it's living on my sofa for the month of October.

My Halloween-loving daughter-in-law is coming to visit in two weeks, so I'm not sure if I'll still have possession of this quilt after she departs.  If she does commandeer it, it couldn't possibly have a better home.
