All Hallows Bash was a fun collection to design. We’ve not had a Halloween group before, so I thought it was a great opportunity to design a fun and bright collection that encompasses iconic motifs like Jack O'Lanterns, ghosts, flying witches, spider webs, and bats! I really wanted to evoke the night time colors of deep Periwinkle skies, as well as bright oranges and greens reminiscent of pumpkins and apples that time of year.
While designing Spook Parade I was envisioning cartoons with creatures and candy marching along in a zombie-like state.
With Witch’s Brew, ghosts are being chased around by feisty witches.
Both these prints make me laugh because I hear music and sound effects as I look at them. Ha! Ann Johnson’s Boo! Table Topper works perfectly here, I just love how the skeletons make the border.
With Creepy Crawlers I love the multi colored webs on top of the striped webbing. I especially love how it was used in Kristin Gassaway’s Through the Seasons Autumn Table Runner as well as the bodies of the pumpkins in Mary Martin’s Spooktacular Row Quilt. It’s just perfect for borders.
If you’re a fan of Halloween I hope this collection makes you smile and that you find fun ways to work with it.

There are still 200 kits of The Boo Table Topper available, perhaps when you tried to purchase it, our warehouse was in the process of cutting more kits. So buy it now while they're in stock!:)
Aug 28, 2012 at 8:22 AM Hi Lauren,
I'm checking into it for you, i'll get back to you. So sorry you missed out on the kits, but hopefully we can get the pattern for you.
Thanks
Aug 28, 2012 at 6:22 AM This is me being very sad!! I was not able to get the pattern for the Boo table topper! Is there any way to get the pattern for it before the fabric sells out??? Thanks!

Aug 9, 2012 at 6:24 AM Oh, I love Halloween! It's such a fun time for decorating and sewing. My goal this fall is to make a fun quilt for my grandson and me to snuggle under.
Aug 8, 2012 at 10:19 PM I think I'm in love, AGAIN. You gals did it, hit another home run with the three new collections. My 'wish list' is chock full of things to order (you are seriously contributing to my habit). Can't wait to get fabrics for the 'Sew Spooky' houses (which were in my last order). Time for my special halloween quilt. Your fabrics make creating so much fun! Keep up the good work!
