October 14, 2012 by Scarlett Burroughs Leave a Comment

Jane of Quilt Jane made this pillow for her friend, Mary, who is known to love decorating for Halloween. Jane hand drew the scary skull and used it as the star of the pillow front. On the back, she quilted spooky spider webs, then finished with a hidden zipper and black piping. Impressive!

If you like her spooky skull, you can download it (or the one a reader cleaned up) to use in your own Halloween creation. Visit her post to see lots of photos of her pillow and get the skull if you dare!

Book Review – Quilts in Italy

While I’m captivated by the allure of “Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in Italy,” and its promise of 20 stunning designs inspired by the picturesque Cinque Terre, I’ve resolved to exercise some restraint in my book-buying habits next year. As much as I’m drawn to the richly colored villages and jewel-like glimpses of the Mediterranean that serve as Kaffe’s muse, I recognize the need to curb my enthusiasm for new additions to my quilt book collection. SO for this book review, full disclosure: I have not purchased it.

With its classic and new fabrics from the Kaffe Fassett Fabric Collection, this book offers a tempting array of designs, from the traditional elegance of the Lacy Log Cabin to the bold and contrasting colors of Scaffold. The almost dizzying complexity of Chiaroscuro promises to be a captivating challenge for any quilting enthusiast.

I’m determined to exercise self-control and prioritize the quilting books I already own. While “Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in Italy” may beckon with its promise of creative inspiration, I’m committed to making thoughtful choices about my book purchases in the coming year. After all, a little restraint now will only enhance the joy of discovering new quilting treasures in the future. Stay tuned for MORE book review in 2025
