Halloween Blog Hop and Giveaway!

Today is my day on the Halloween Blog Hop 'Something Whicked This Way Comes' hosted by Soma.
I first though about some laughing pumpkins as I love this vegetable so much - beautiful shapes and colors and so delicious particularly in soup... But I have changed my mind. I finally designed a haunted house (I like designing house blocks, I already have several in my collection and I will probably design more, I dream about a "village quilt"). I hope you will enjoy sewing this one, as much as I did!


You can download the pattern here and there.

And to complete this good day (but today is always a good day!), I add a giveaway. I offer those 2 books:
- Bundles of Fun by Karen Snyder, Krause publications
- Log Cabin Quilts with Attitude by Sharon Rotz, Krause publications


Those quilting books are particularly suitable for beginners.

 To enter:
Leave a comment on this post telling me what will be your next sewing/quilting project. Make sure to leave a valid address on your entry.

Additional Entries:
Share this giveaway on any of the social networking site and leave a comment here that you did.

This giveaway ends at 11:59pm PDT on Saturday, November 10, 2012. Open worldwide. The winner will be selected by random.org and will have 4 days to answer my notification email before another winner is selected.

GOOD LUCK!

................................and the winner is...........Robin!   Congratulations!

    Your house is great. My next project will be a Christmas quilt to be used in a fundraising event that is coming up. I was thinking of doing a jelly roll race quilt so I can get back to the Christmas quilt I am doing for me.

    Love your block entry for the hop! I too dream of a village quilt - but a Halloween one. Your block is the perfect block to start with!
    I just finished a bag though - so my next project is "The Quilter's Wallet"
    I added a like to your blog and to your Facebook page on the Quilter's Revolution FB page. Hope you get some hits! You are very talented!

    This is fantastic!!! Thanks for another great Halloween pattern! As far as what I'm working on, I have about a million things... I'm trying to get some pattern made up and some sample quilts done... I'm also working on pincushions for my quilt guild ladies, and some friends for Christmas. So many projects, so little time!

    I'm a novice at sewing - my next project will probably be a new maxi skirt for me (mainly because I'm frightened by the dress pattern I'd really like to be using...), or possibly a makeup bag.

    I haven't tried quilting but I'd love to learn! That Halloween House is simply darling.

    My e-mail is in my profile :).
