Peek A Who??!!
Happy Tuesday!! I can’t believe this month is almost over! But before we dig out the turkey fryer, let’s share a little spooky-ooky fun on the Peek A Who Blog Hop hosted by Marian at Seams to be Sew!
Please visit Marian’s site for a ***FREE*** pattern she is giving away each day! Today is a cute little monster – so hop on over and grab it, and visit her each day for a new one! She is also sponsoring the giveaway for a 50% off coupon for Calibre Arts cutting mats. So enter that drawing as well! I have my eye on that 18 x 18 rotating mat!! I’ve done some research on these mats and the one thing that REALLY stood out to me was the fact that they don’t have that “new mat” odor!! I’m sure you know what I mean, but for those of you who don’t, I’ll borrow a phrase from an old song, “You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road…stinkin’ to high heaven!!” A bit of trivia about that song – I always thought Arlo Guthrie (who did one of my other fave’s Alice’s Restaurant!!) did this song – but it was actually Loudon Wainwright III! They do sound a bit alike – at least to me. OK – we’ll quit chasing those oldie goldie squirrels and get back to our fun topic at hand! Darn squirrels!!! Some of them can be fun though!! LOL So if you’d like a chance to win a 50% off coupon for one of these non stinky mats, please head over to Marian’s blog post for Monday and register after you visit today’s bloggers!
This hop started Monday, the 22nd and will end on Friday the 26th. There are great prizes for which you can register each day from The Fat Quarter Shop, Timeless Treasures, and Calibre Art Mats! Here is the schedule for the week!

Now … to my project for Peek A Who! I don’t like scary, spooky so I decided to do a whimsical! When I was growing up in the country, houses were a little farther apart than in subdivisions. If we wanted to go trick-or-treating, my mom or aunt would drive us into town. But the most fun was when the “neighborhood” kids would have a hay ride. We’d all pile on the back of a truck, or tractor and trailer and just ride around. We would stop at a few houses and get some candy too. Sometimes we would have a wiener roast or some of the parents would make us goodies! Lots of fun and good memories!! So with those happy childhood times in mind, I decided on my project! Meet The Boo Crew!!
This is my drawing in EQ8. I found some fab-u-lous spider web fabric that was all glittery and decided to use it as the background and along with some scraps from my stash and a little extra fabric that just screamed, “pick me, pick me!” and I put together my flimsy, which really LOVED sitting on the windshield of my ‘stang!! I think they are ready for a F-A-S-T road trip!! LOL
And the crew enjoyed resting beneath the trees, as well!
And here is my finished quilt! I’m not sure who was more afraid and surprised – the ghost, the owl, or the pumpkins!!! Meet Kasper the ghost, Batty, Frankie, Witchy and Twitchy, the pumpkins, and Spooky the owl!! They are enjoying a leisurely hayride on a Halloween night! And I am releasing this pattern today! It’s on sale until 10/29/18, and you can find it in my store here. Since the outer border was that beautiful purple spiderweb fabric, I just had to quilt it with hanging spiders!! This picture really doesn’t do it justice, but you get the idea! I quilted around the appliques so they would stand out more and quilted my favorite swirls and curls in the background fabric. The green “grass” was quilted with topsy turvy pumpkins!

I love your halloween quilt.
Oh, that is gorgeous! I love the background you picked and the quilting in that border, too. Such cute, personable pumpkins and characters. Thank you so much for sharing! I love Alice’s Restaurant and the photo graphs with lines and arrows on the back! I also love my Calibre mats. That rotating mat is the best one ever, so smooth and perfect as it turns. You won’t be sorry if you get that one. Ah, hay rides!
What an adorable pattern! I love the spider web fabric and all of your quilting touches!
Very cute! The owl in the tree is just the best.
What a darling little wall hanging/mat.
Your project is absolutely stunning. Thank you for the memories that reading your post brought.
Such great memories and a wonderful tip of the hat to them in your quilt design. It is such a fun quilt. Thank you for sharing.
Love the spiders quilted in your border
Thank you, MaryBeth. I don’t like spiders, but these just fit the quilt! LOL
Very cute design. I’m like you don’t like the really gruesome stuff
Very unique Halloween project and the spider quilting in the borders is the perfect touch.
I think your quilt is great. Love the quilting.
wow your quilt is wonderful. thank you for sharing and inspiring. I love whimsical and fun also. when i was young we lived on a farm and mom would take all five of us kids in the truck to neighbors. we had a blast. one of the moms always had a special time set up for all the kids in their home.
Love your Halloween quilt, the pumpkins and John Deer train is just too cute..
Oh my gosh…is that just the cutest thing? I love that little tractor and it’s precious cargo. Oh, and how I remember “Dead Skunk” and singing it at the top of my lungs when it came of the radio. LOL!!! Does that date us or what?
tee hee Thanks for creating this adorable design.
I don’t like spooky or scary either. Your design is adorable!
Love your Hay Ride quilt! It’s such a happy scene, not spooky at all. Perfect for the little ones. Great job!
Such a cute!! quilt! Love it! Thank you for sharing.
o my gosh, that is just the cutest tractor quilt ever! Nothing like Hay Rides in October!
Such cute pumpkins in a little train! You will enjoy this quilt forever.
very cute quilt and i love the fabrics you chose.
I went on Christmas hayrides, but no Halloween ones…that would have been so fun! Love your quilt with cut pumpkin faces!
Your little quilt is perfect!! The tractor is the right color!!
So cute!
What fun! This would be a perfect project for a gift. Thank you for sharing and creating a pattern.
What an awesome Halloween Quilt Brenda. I adore that little cat, mostly hidden under that hat wondering why his oh so warm and comfy bed is rolling along? You did an exceptional job, as always. Thanks for the info on where we can go to enter to win, I sure could use some nice purple fabric, for my taste you can never have enough purple in your stash.
I don’t mind spiders, but please NO snakes. I tend to disappear (one of my magic powers) if anyone even mentions those vile critters though I know some people love them. They’re just not for me.
I’ve never heard the song you’re referring to, not sure if that’s good or not, hmmmm. I’m a big Ray Stevens fan, at least his funny songs are dear to me. Sorry to say I’m not familiar with the artist who sings it, though I do enjoy Arlo.
Off to enter the contests. Thanks for being You, which I know makes many people very happy.
Thanks for sharing your memories. Much nicer than spooky scary stuff. Love your spider quilting.
I love the pumpkin train especially the winking pumpkin, Thanks

Hello, Brenda my new friend. What a wonderful wall hanging. I LOVE it. So whimsical and creative. The quilting has been done very well, that you thought about each section and enhanced it with some fun designs really makes it stand out also. Loved hearing about your childhood Halloween time also, Fall is a great time of year and my second favorite season of the year.. Winter being the first. 🙂 I’m and oddie… I love snow. Thanks so much for participating today and my sincerest apologies for not getting around to the blogs sooner this week. It’s really been I think my busiest week of the year thus far.
