Cabin Chills quilt

 There are a few quilts that I'm working on, but I finally have a finish!

I made J. Wecker Frisch's Cabin Chills in her Old Made line from Riley Blake.  Instead of the white background, I chose a gray from Fig Tree fabrics.  I wanted mine to look a little spookier.

I bought the kit from Pine Needles in West Jordan, Utah, after Halloween last year. My goal was to make it for this Halloween.  I even machine quilted it with spider webs and spiders.  

I used a variegated thread, Aurifil 4670.  It looks equally good on the white and black fabrics and doesn't show up too much on the background fabric.

The fabric is all sewing related.  Do you notice that the fabric for the roofs is snaps?

Each character has a sewing name, like Mrs. Sharp, the needle keeper.

Old Made instead of Old Maid :)

In my opinion, the lady below is the ugliest 😂

The backing fabric is called Midnight Magic 2 by April Rosenthal of Prairie Grass patterns for Moda.

I'm going away for the weekend and am taking this quilt with me to keep me warm during the crisp Halloween nights.

What I've Been Working On

My daughter received a Samsung tablet for Christmas over a year ago.

I told her I would make a case for it and finally got around to making it....

I'm not quite that pathetic, her tablet was lost for about 6 months.

One day her little one year old was playing in her bedroom and pulled out the tablet from between the cushions of the chair.

My daughter had looked there so many times, I guess it took the right touch :)

I wanted to make a vintage case, and found this adorable little Japanese print with 1950's style stuffed animals, perfect!

I don't know if she likes it or not, but I LOVE it :)

I chose a cute polka dot for the top of the holder and a teal colored zipper.

This is the back of the case.

Don't you just love those little vintage animals?

Can you tell how much I LOVE it???? Lol!

I've made this tablet case many times, just in different sizes.

Here is the link to the tutorial from Fresh Lemons Modern Quilts.

Liz has excellent tutorials :)

I really like the aqua gingham lining!

 The inside pocket has a polka dot lining.

This is such an easy case to make, I recommend it.

I'm very fortunate to belong to a virtual quilt bee, The Bees Knees a Quilting Bee.

April Rosenthal sent me this fabric with her new pattern, and I put it together and sent it to her.  

The colors and prints are so interesting :)

I'm working on lots of projects right now, but they just aren't complete enough to show you yet.

Have a wonderful week and I'll see you next Monday :)
