This week's WIP Wedneday features a finished quilt!! Wooo
HOOO! A completed project!
A few months ago (okay, maybe it was more like a year ago)
I picked up the pattern "Eeek!" by Patch Abilities, Inc. along with
the cutest spider quilt hanger (more on him below).
 |
'Eeek!" is an applique pattern
(my favorite) and the directions were very easy to follow. Of course I changed
it up a bit so my quilt would be unique.
I opted to skip the word "eeek" and instead cut
out a ghost using my Sizzix and fused him to the bottom right corner of the
quilt. I decided to do raw edge applique to add texture to the quilt. I also off set my spiders and placed them at an angle instead of in
a straight column.

I used Chenille by the inch for the spiders'
legs...which made them super fuzzy (side note...the chennile fuzz gets
everywhere when you are fluffing it...be warned). Hot fix crystals = perfect eyes.

Lastly, when I quilted it...I quilted the spider web in
only the top left corner. I actually made two of these. One of them went to my
Mom who loves Halloween as much as I do. I quilted Mom's first and I used metallic
silver thread for the web. I love love the look of it...but using the metallic thread
with free motion quilting proved to be more of a challenge than I wanted/had
time for.

So when it came time to quilt mine, I just used regular thread. I was super excited when I found the spider quilt hanger in an LQS. I think he 'completes' the quilt.

I love the way this quilt came out..and I can't wait for Halloween so I can display it!
