Saving the universe one project at a time!
Today begins the Charlottte’s Spooky Garden sew along! Each week we are focusing on a different portion of the quit!
The original pattern, Charlotte’s Garden, uses Leafy Keen fabric which I love.
I wrote special cutting instructions for the Halloween version.

I love the Halloween version! Join me on Instagram for sewing tips each week as we make this quilt in August!
Is it ever too early for Halloween quilts? The Mod Meow cat panel is available now so I wanted to get this quilt pattern out now!
This might be my favorite Halloween quilt ever! Scrappy pumpkins, twirly pinwheels, and mischeveious felines! What’s not to love!
This quilt pattern is available in a PDF version in my Etsy shop. The cats are appliquéd using the Mod Meow cat panel by Riley Blake Designs.
The quilt uses 1 panel (18″) which includes 10 cats. The cats are machine appliquéd using Heat n Bond Feather Lite appliqué medium. (Or use your favorite method.)
The quilt measures 74″ x 74″ and the blocks measure 16″ x 16″.
It’s 100% Mufasa approved!
I’m on a roll with Halloween quilts! I definitely have more Halloween quilts than any other season! It is just too fun sewing with orange and black!!
I used my pattern Gingham Picnic to make this fun table topper. You can find the pattern in my Etsy shop for PDF download.
I made 9 blocks and followed the instructions for the sashing. The quilt finishes at 36″ square – which is such a versatile size! Place on a table, hang on a wall, or give as a gift!
I used dark orange prints and light orange prints to create the gingham effect. I used a Riley Blake pin dot for the white and then lots of black prints for the center star. I bound the quilt in black and white gingham!
You can easily sew the top together in an afternoon (or late at night – that’s how I work!)
Seriously – I’m so in love with this! Be sure to tag me (@jedicraftgirl) if you make one and use the hashtag #ginghampicnicquilt 🙂
I always envisioned Garden Cat in Halloween Colors and I am so happy with how it turned out! It’s my new favorite Halloween Quilt!
The pattern is in my book Playful Precut Quilts. I followed the pattern and just switched out the colors!
You will love how fast this quilt comes together!!!
I used fabrics from my Scaredy Cat fabric line, lots of Riley Blake basics and some other fun Halloween fabrics! The scrappier the better!!!
It’s totally Mufasa approved!!!
Make sure you pick up a copy of Quilts and More which hits news stands today! My Spellbound Quilt Pattern is in it!
I used Scaredy Cat by Riley Blake Designs for the fabric. The quilt is an alternating block pattern that creates a chain design.
I love that the pattern isn’t just for Halloween, but you could easily make it with Christmas fabrics or red and blue fabrics!
Mufasa loves it too! He’s just mad he’s not in the magazine 🙂
Its never too early to start sewing for Halloween! You will love sewing up this fun mini quilt!
I have a free PDF pattern you can download with the instructions and appliqué pieces. Just click HERE. This little quilt is made up of 2 1/2″ squares cut from my Scaredy Cat Fabric line from Riley Blake Designs.
The quilt finishes at 20″ x 20″. You also could turn this into a 20″ pillow if you want!
I hope you love sewing this!! Use the tag #SPOOKYminiquilt on Instagram!
Mini quilts are a fun way to make a quilt especially if you don’t have a lot of time. They are fun to give as gifts and fun to decorate with!
This little quilt uses 10″ precuts squares or you can use scraps if you want.
It would be cute in the middle of a table or hanging on the wall!
The pattern is available in PDF or paper in my Etsy shop.
First Fall Quilt Market – First fabric line with Riley Blake Designs!!!!
I’m so excited to share Scaredy Cat with you! It’s my first fabric line ever!
The fabric was first shown at Quilt Market and it was so much fun!
Here are some peeks into my booth at Quilt Market.
I love sewing for Halloween and Fall! Orange and Black are so amazing together!!! I created this fun little quilt to get my orange and black sewing fix! And you can make one too!!
The quilt measures 38″ square and is a perfect size for hanging on a wall or putting on a table. You could always make more blocks and turn it into a throw quilt!! How fun!
I used fabrics from my stash which is also fun! Some fabrics I’ve had for years and some are newer additions! You can use all different shades of orange and black!

To make the patchy pumpkins sew (4) charm squares together like a 4-patch
Trace the pumpkin pattern onto the Heat n Bond Lite.
Cut out around each pumpkin and stem about 1/4″. Heat set to the wrong side of the 4-patch. You can center the 4-patch or have it off center – you can even rotate it so it’s on an angle!
Let it cool and then cut out the pumpkin along the pattern line. Peel off the backing paper.
Heat set the pumpkin in the center of the quilt block. Straight stitch around the pumpkin and stem two times.
I had a leftover kitty pumpkin quilt block from my “I Love Cats Quilt” so I came up with this fun little wallhanging! It measures 20″ square so you could turn it into a pillow if you wanted to.
I love hanging little quilts all over my house – they make everything so cozy! Below are the instructions to make the mini quilt. The center block measures 10 1/2″ unfinished.
I love fall so much!
