Decorating for the Season

I finished up a couple of quilts this weekend. This first one was pretty simple and very quick to make. The focus fabric and border fabric are both by Alexander Henry. Although it's a small lap quilt, I think the fabrics pack a lot of punch! I actually tea dyed the quilt to help tone down the bright orange figures and to give it more of an oldtime feel.
I think you've already seen the quilt top for this quilt made from fabrics by Bonnie Sullivan for Maywood Studios.

Below are some picture of the fall and Halloween decorations around our home.

This sign is on the wall of the dining area in our kitchen.
These sit on my kitchen counter top.
More candy in a hurricane lamp. My son thinks this is one of the most stupid ideas ever! I mean, really, what is the point to having candy if you can't eat it?! Can you see that I've rigged it so that they can't get the candy bars without the candy corn dropping down to the bottom of the lamp? I've made serious threats against anyone who might try to eat the candy bars! LOL! The candles in the kitchen come with less of a threat. I've even been caught snitching the malted milk balls.
Obviously, there is no threat associated with the candy corn in the pumpkin jar. We had a houseful of twenty-somethings at our home for dinner yesterday and I told them the candy corn was up for grabs. Those are "boo bells" in the vase.

I hope my sister won't take it personally when I say that my girls have named our little witch Susie. They must have named her that because she's so cute! (Did I cover myself?)


This is my (somewhat) new front door.
We haven't bought REAL pumpkins yet, so these will have to do until we
