Saturday was Halloween and after all the fun we had at the party, we were ready to settle down and do some sewing.
The project I taught was this three block applique quilt. Each block was done using different techniques: The bat and moon block was done in the hoop using the embroidery module; the ghost block was prepared using freezer paper and appliqued to the background with a blanket stitch and decorative thread; the pumpkin block taught "faced" applique and reverse applique.

Look, Ma -- no hands! As the last step to complete this block, we used the #43 Free Motion Couching Foot to stitch decorative yarn around the bat shape that had been reverse appliqued.
This project taught a number of techniques -- too bad I can only teach it once a year!
