This year, we didn’t have time to do our normal Halloween traditions. My husband loves to carve intricate and creative designs on pumpkins, and this was the first year in 25 that he didn’t get to do that! I guess that’s what happens when you are almost an empty-nester. Rachel, who just turned 16, was busy at a tech rehearsal for the play “The Crucible” all week long. She wasn’t even home to help pass out candy.

However, I do have one quilt to show you. I finished this Halloween quilt a couple of years ago. It was simple and fun to do. I even did the quilting in glow in the dark thread, and some of the fabrics have glow in the dark elements, too.
