Caleb did make a really cool fish in his home ec class this year with wool felt. It's funny, at school these days, they are into self-evaluation in everything. In his comments on the fish, Caleb said he was really slow at the blanket stitch - just like me!
Regarding my quilting - you'll see to the right that I've added a Halloween swap button. I'm so excited, but also kind of freaked out that I've joined my first swap. What if they don't like me?! I decided to do 'candy corn' as my theme. I had remembered Amanda Jean's quilt, and found some other wonderful inspiration on flicker.I have my fourth small project sewn, but it needs a filler - so hopefully I can make it to the grocery store today. (With three boys in tow, I may rather jab my eyes with knitting needles!)

Those boys look like a ton of fun and perhaps a bit of trouble... :)
I'm glad you joined the Halloween swap, too! Perhaps we'll be in the same group. The candy corn stripes that you saw online are great! I decided to go with witches after I found an awesome paper pieced pattern.
I am doing it too. I am doing a starry web. It is not something I have tried before. Yours will be wonderful. You do make beautiful quilts.
1. that picture of your boys is great! they're all so handsome!
2. caleb's fish=cute. funny he struggled w/the blanket stitch like his mama.
3. they're going to LOVE you at the swap. i'm sad we're not in the same group.

Good luck with the school holidays!!! Looking forward to seeing your candy corn creation!
