Happy Spooks Halloween Wall Hanging
This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share a commission.Welcome to my day on the Wicked blog hop, I hope you been having a wickedly good time!
This was a pattern called Happy Spooks in the Simple Quilts & Sewing magazine and was designed by Kelly Mueller. I had this cute Halloween kitty fabric by Hoffman Prints that I thought would work great for a border. It ended up being about 19 x 25 inches when I was done.
If you haven’t been here before, I quilt on my vintage 15-91 Singer sewing machine which only does a straight stitch. I do my applique free motion. Sometimes I do it close to the applique edge and other times…..like this I add in the extra longer lines for contrast.
If you would like to put a fast and easy frame around your photo be sure and check out my tutorial.
All of the wet leaves on the ground looked so neat that I had to grab the wall hanging that I showed here and lay it on the ground too.
I also did a little paper piecing…….I am getting pretty comfortable with it since the Bowls with Borders blog hop (thanks Madame Samm and Regina).
This was a pattern for a postcard and I just added some more black to it to make it a good size for a pumpkin rug. You can find the pattern at Quilted Delights under tutorials. I think it would be beautiful for Christmas trees too.
Thanks so much for all the hard work that Wendy and Madame Samm put into this blog hop!

Cool! This is so cute! I love it. Thanks for sharing this one.
Your applique mini quilt is spooktacular! Love the bat wings and the pumpkin's quirky smile.
Your mug rug is awesome too! Your tiny free motion swirls are perfect and your tree turned out stunning! 🙂
Awesome projects, Connie. Your happy spooks wallhanging has me smiling, it's so cute!
I sew on a vintage Singer 15-91 as well. I use Belle for all my piecing and have done a little quilting on her too. I love that little machine!
Your wall hanging is gorgeous!! I love how you appliqué. It's looks wonderful!!!
Wonderful blocks and projects, as usual Connie. Thanks so much for sharing your talent & knowledge.
OH Connie, you never disappoint! Adorable wall hangings–The candied apples are a real "treat"! I was shocked to read that you do the applique free motion–I never would have guessed!
Great work. I love the pumpkin rug!
Adorable little ghost! Love Your appliqué stitching, too. Happy Halloween!
Beautiful projects!!
I love the wall hanging and I can't believe you do that free motion! I'm just getting comfortable with it and this makes me even more grateful for my zigzag stitch! Thanks for sharing!

That mugrug is adorable! (popping through from Blogtoberfest)
Great job I love your cat border fabric. Your pumpkin mug is sew cute. Hard to believe you only have straight stitch-amazing !
Cute blocks, Connie. I love your FMQ on it.
Gotta love those leaves. We had great weather in Iowa, but beware. You may get the snow that we ended up in on our drive home. Brrrr. Those leaves will be buried.

I love your wall hanging and placemat.
You did a super job! Thanks for sharing with us.
Too cute!
Love, love, love it. Your applique stitching is just the perfect touch for Halloween.
Love that cat Halloween fabric. Great projects!
Grand blocks. Your wall hanging is wonderful and I especially loved how you appliqued. What an artist! FM is hard enough when there's nothing to follow and you have to follow along a particular line and then you add in a repeating design to the lines.
wow great work connie!
You have spooked me out! As always, an inspiration! Kathy @ Kwilty Plesures
Connie, Darling, just darling! I have a Juki and it only stitches straight, I would love to learn how you do your edging, it is great! Thanks for sharing.
I love the Halloween kitties!
Cute wall hanging and I like the bat on it very much. I also like your orange tree mug rug. I hadn't thought about doing that with orange but just love how it turned out.
All your creations are just great! I like using branches instead of dowels for hanging small quilts too.
Thanks for show us your beautiful works.

Great job on the 2 quilts!
I notice the little longer stitches on your applique right off the 'bat'. I thought that fit the pattern just great. I thought to myself I wonder what stitch that is then I saw you did it free motion way. WOW..
Super cute, spooky, n fun! Love your minis. The twig hanger is great. The face on your pumpkin is priceless!
Love your projects,awesome!!
Your stitching really impresses me. Cute hanging!
Great "Wicked" projects Connie! Of course, I just absolutely LOVE the kitties fabric :*)
Connie, your Halloween wall hanging is adorable…love the kitty fabric (is it still available…I'd love to make something for my DD with it ). TFS
Love your blocks! You must be wickedly talented to do all you do with a straight stitch! Thank you for sharing!

Wicked! I love your wall hanging.

Nice job on your group of projects, thanks for sharing today!
Really cute blocks!

Connie, your projects are always inspiring! Great job, love your free hand applique. I agree paper piecing does get easier with practice. Have a wonderful and wicked Wednesday!!
Love all your wicked work! Those leaves look wonderful to me. We don't get much fall color here in Florida & I really miss it. (not complaining about the weather though!)
Your blocks are so cute! I really love the pumpkin rug! That would make a beautiful mug rug for Christmas!
