For the Love of Witches

My mother-in-law has been collecting witches for over twenty years.  Every year I love to search for the perfect witch for "The Witches Inn" (a room at her house dedicated to her collection).  Two years ago I was able to create a small wall hanging for her special room.

Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting had and article in the September/October 2005 issue that sparked my interest.  The small quilt was designed by Lori Smith and called Halloween Night.

After some thorough investigation and article in hand I went to JoAnn's, bought a bunch of quarter yards of Halloween fabric and got started.  I did not have previous experience in machine applique, but I was armed with a Bernina and access to the internet for any questions that I might have.

The finished quilt is 19" by 16".
