Halloween Altered Book Pages




As promised, here are the first two pages of the Halloween Altered Book.  The two beautiful fairies are my GDs.  They were sitting on a block wall surrounded by their carved pumpkins.  As you can tell from the photo, Halloween in Arizona is very warm (not your typical Halloween weather.)

 I added falling leaves and a vintage witch on each page.  I found the copper wire in my studio and decided to add it to the pages.  More pages tomorrow.  Ballgame this afternoon.

October Quilties


These are my two quilties for the monthly swap on Fabric in Altered Arts. This month's themes were Lime Green and Purple and Halloween. We do a color and theme each month. I decided to do my Lime Green and Purple in a Halloween theme also.
The Lime Green and Purple quiltie has a purple background with lime green frogs in witches' hats. The image is from Dover and printed on fabric sheet. The words are stamped with Staz On ink.
The Halloween quiltie is made of fabric sent to me by a friend and the image is from my vintage photo collection. The word BOO has been fussy cut from Halloween fabric.

Things with Wings ATC Swap




This is my ATC for a swap on Treasure Art Trends yahoo group. The theme for September is "Things with Wings". I've been working on Halloween projects and decided to follow that theme. I'm quite pleased with the "BAT" card.

Halloween Apron



I'm hosting a Halloween Apron swap on Fabric in Altered Arts Yahoo group. I made the apron above this week from fabric purchased at Granny's Attic in Campbellsville, Kentucky. I developed the pattern and have used it a few times. Notice the cute black ball fringe also from Granny's Attic. I have bat fabric for another apron which I hope to work on tomorrow. I'm not sure which one I will exchange in the swap. These are quite simple to sew and fun to make. Love the Halloween fabric. I also completed a quilt top for a Halloween wallhanging. It's made from a charm pack. I'll post photo when I finish the quilting. I purchased the charm pack and pattern on-line. A great way to shop.
