A WICKED HOP - JUST GHASTLY!

Who are the Ghastlies?

They remind me of Edward Gorey's
the "Gashlycrum Tinies"

Alexander Henry, the fabric designer, website says
In Ghastlie Manor on Ghastlie Street there's a Ghastlie family there to meet.
Mathilda Ghastlie with husband too extend a Ghastlie hand to you.
It's a Ghastlie day for a Ghastlie walk, under Ghastlie trees on a Ghastlie block.
A Ghastlie time for Ghastlie things like Ghastlie pets with Ghastlie wings!

This orange fabric was one of the first lines made.

I don't have it and that is a NIGHTMARE!

I've been really WICKED

making 4 GHASTLIES kwilts
in the last 2 months.

"The Ghastlies" gray color wave
using the "Side lights" pattern (by Kari Nichols)
you can order it here.

Aanother gray version of the patter using
"A Ghastlies Night" and pink borders.
The gray and pink colors is what first drew me
into the Ghastlies household.

"The Ghastlies" fabric in mauve, my design.
I did use both "The Ghastlies" and "A Ghastlie Night"
for the sidelight blocks in this one.

Love this little girls...and
I'm still looking for my hammer!

I couldn't find the orange Ghastlies fabric
so I made my own orange and black design by
fussy cutting centers and making wonky frames.
The orange flange just makes this one POP!

Here are some close ups of the blocks
showing the quilting and a better feel for
the actual colors..still working on the photogrpahy!
Maybe Santa will bring me a new camera?

AND last but not least...I designed a tote bag using
"The Ghastlies Family Gallery" fabric in gray.

HEXIES...then and now!

Hexagon: In geometry, a hexagon is a polygon with six edges

...blah blah...blah...

I never liked math...or geometry for that matter

but I'm glad the kwilting world

has found a formula for enjoying this little six-sided shape.

HEXIES...

have been around a loooooong time

Here's a "grandmothers flower garden block" I made

in my FIRST KWILT

20 years ago...how ugly is this fabric!?!

AND I didn't know much about the kwilting processes.

however, I surprised myself when revisiting this

block...I actually did some fussy cutting for

the inner hexies!

Today, the Modern Quilt Movement has taken this shape

by storm and they are showing up everywhere!

I wasn't sure what to make, so I began by making these hexies...

from a flowery charm pack I had on hand.

And layered them on top of a

mossy green Connecting Threads fabric, batting and a backing.

Kwilted around the edges of each hexy...

Did some "echo" kwilting around the BIG HEX!

(thank goodness my kwilting skills have improved)

Flip it over and just look at the fun kwilting design.

I still wasn't sure what I wanted this project to be....
After asking a few kwilting friends what they saw in this design
...the answer was unanimous

A PILLOW ! ! !

I added a yellow flange, more of the green fabric
for the backing, stuffed it and sewed it up.
Looks great on my deck!
Guess I need to make some more!

View good view of the flange!

Come sit down...

Make sure you stop to see the other bloggers today
and see what the hex they have made!

Love the fabric you chose for this mugrug. My favorite springtime activity is watching the lake thaw and getting my kayak down to the lake to watch the loons.
