Halloween is my all-time favorite holiday. The inky skies of late fall where a crescent moon rides through the clouds; the spooky spine-tingling sound of the cornfield when the autumn wind rustles through the brittle stalks; the elongated shadows that seem to crawl across the pumpkin patch; the little goblins that appear at my door, barking for goodies ..
There is only one thing wrong with Halloween - it is much too fleeting. Here for one day, and gone - a sour sweet candy that dissolves too quickly across the tongue.
The season began with a discovery - a small embroidered piece that popped out from storage. A Lorry piece.
She loved her embroidery machine and generously handed out samples to our quilting group. This honey bee made me think about fall and the harvest and a natural procession issues - Halloween!
I have scavenged the orange fabric bins. It's easy to get lost amidst one's favorite colors.
A dilemma presents itself - I am torn between the images of the harvest - the scarecrow, the blackbird, the produce, and the icons of All Hallow Even. Can they join hands and coexist? Is synergy even possible?
I'm all over the place. I may have to resort to a sampler (groan).
The one thing of which I am certain - this is the year that I WILL finish a Halloween quilt!
