I'm so so happy to announce that I just finished my Hocusspocusville quilt last week! Yippee! And it only took me two years. :) Double yippee. :) I am so in love right now. Smitten to the bone. Seriously, I can't take my eyes off this thing.






Can you see the pumpkin quilting on the black square? They are hard to see but so cute!




I googled Hocusspocusville and saw on images a lot of these quilts by other quilters. One gal said it took her 3 months to complete hers. WoW.  I also saw one made with all color thread. I didn't think it was as cute doing it that way. I did see one, though, that the quilter put the embroidery on lime green instead of muslin and I loved it. I wish I could of seen that one when I was starting mine.


The marking pencil that I used to draw on the houses, that cost me like $12 or $14 bucks -just so you know-, was suppose to come out when washed. But it did not. There are places on the quilt where you can clearly see the green markings. It makes me so sad!
Also there is one block that Colton got to with a pen that did not come out either when I washed it. Colton was younger when he did this, so I can't be mad. You know, I fished the haunted houses a long time ago. They've just been setting around collecting dust forever. Such a happy feeling to have it finished!











Anyway, I am very happy with it. I can't wait to see you very soon!
