Today is my day to post some spooky Halloween offerings. Thanks to Madame Samm from Sew We Quilt and Wendy of Why Not Kwilt for all their work in organizing this blog hop and keeping everybody in line.
I have for you two small wallhangings. The patterns come from The Heart and Home Co. I picked up kits for both the wallhangings when AQS was in Grand Rapids this year. Unfortunately, I don't know who I purchased them from so I can't give credit to the shop who put together the kits.
First is Ghost. My three-year-old grandson is being a ghost for Halloween. My original intention was to make a trick-or-treat bag out of it for him to use but decided to do the wallhanging instead.
A funny story that I wish I had a picture to go with.....my grandson originally wanted to be a green ghost but in the last couple of weeks changed it to a purple ghost. He went with me to purchase the fabric for his costume, and when I grabbed the white fabric, he told me, "No; purple." So purple it was. I ended up adding bits of cheesecloth over the purple floor-length costume. As we went through the zoo-boo last night, he did in fact look very ghostly....just bits of white floating along.
The second wallhanging was made for my almost 17-month-old granddaughter. The only kit that was available that wasn't scary was Candy Corn, so that's what I got for her. It's quite colorful. When she received it in the mail, she proceeded to carry it around the house with her.
The hangers for both of them were purchased from Ackfeld Manufacturing. They have some wonderful hangers available, not just for the holidays but throughout the year. They come in a variety of finishes and sizes. One of my favorites that I plan to make a quilt to hang on can be found here. Think I could get away with hanging it in my office at work?
Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to visit and leave comments for the other blog hoppers today!

ReplyDeleteI love the purple ghost idea...kids can be pretty creative and I think it's great that you let him go with his idea and didn't force the traditional white ghost. Your two hangings are very cute, and I think the 5 o'clock somewhere hanger is very cool! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThe kids sound like they are thrilled with the results! Maybe another year you can use the patterns for the trick or treat bags as the motifs would work well as you first thought. Sew cute!
ReplyDeleteI love Ackfeld Mfg hangers and have 3 in use at all times in my home. A 4th is waiting for just the right project, LOL. Both of your choices are excellent for Halloween.

ReplyDeleteMmmmmm candy corn!
ReplyDeleteLove your mini quilts. The candy corn is so colourful and I love seeing the seams in the ghost. It helps with the scariness of the spirit just as the cheesecloth must have for your grandson's costume. Thanks for sharing. Happy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteCute mini quilts. Neat.
ReplyDeleteGreat wallhangings, Christa! My oldest was a big purple fan too when he was very little. :)
ReplyDeleteYour mini quilts are just precious! I love your story about your grandson and his ghost costume, and even without a picture, I can imagine it! Thanks for sharing your work!
ReplyDeleteYour mini quilts are adorable and the story about your grandson was so adorable. My grandson is blind but he wanted to be Raggedy Andy because his Mom had read a story and he was very definite in what he wanted to wear. He has a little vision in one corner of left eye but he tells us he can see and he tends to be very critical. But they are very definite on what they want aren't they.
ReplyDeleteI love your mini quilts/wallhangings. Thank you for sharing the story about your grandson.

I know your grandchildren have to be thrilled with their Halloween wall hangings. I love that your grandson wanted purple for his ghost costume. For quite sometime, one of my grandson's favorite color was pink. It's now blue. Who knows what it'll be tomorrow. You did an absolutely amazing job on your projects. Thank you for participating, sharing your creativity, and being a wonderful grandma.

ReplyDeleteYour two wall hangings are darling! You mentioning your granddaughter carring her gift around reminds me of my two year old grandson. I bought him an Ironman shirt and he carried it around the house for a whole day, on the hanger before he decided to wear it, hehe. Little kids are wonderful! Thanks for sharing, awesome job. By the way, I love the quilt hangers you linked, it's true, it is 5pm somewhere, hehe.
