A Non-Halloween, Halloween Post

The dress before I tore it apart to use as a pattern.  I tried to dye it, but polyester isn't into dying;) The dress I made from the aforementioned dress pattern.  I got this fabric during the Junk Jaunt.  Mom calls it my curtain dress...think The Sound of Music play clothes Maria made for the children. Brenna and I made pillowcase dresses to send to Haiti through the 4-H club.  I had one last pillowcase left over.  I made it into this little dress.  It has an underlay of muslin and then the pink at the bottom.  This is a wallhanging that I made as a wedding gift for my friend, Jackie.  Hmmm, I wonder what this could be?!  That my friends is the back of my first t-shirt quilt...machine quilted:)  I purchased a darning foot, but I wasn't having any luck getting the hang of controlling my stitch length.  And so I simply did the quilting on my treadle machine with the regular presser foot...no problem. Well, no problem until I sewed through my finger!  Notice
