I met Bette Bradley at the Flying Geese guild a few days ago. At show and tell she showed this quilt…
I have never seen a Halloween version and wish I had thought of it myself! If I am remembering the story correctly, this is not the only Halloween North Pole quilt Bette has made and I think she made this with another quilter.
It may be that you don't know our book, Welcome to the North Pole. Click here to see it. Surprisingly enough, this book is the one of ours that has been in print the longest. I think it is still popular because it is very easy to personalize. And it's cute!
I wanted to get more, better photos of Bette's quilt, but couldn't. I'm hoping that you can see some of the details in her quilt in the photos I did get. Click on either of these photos and they should open up larger.
I just love it!



This is one of my favorite quilts on my to-do list. It’s the reason I do needleturn applique – and practiced for many years so I could handle the little pieces and make them look good. I agree it’s probably the favorite because it is very easy to personalize. And I have many plans to make it to fit my family. However, I never once thought of a Halloween quilt and since Halloween is the best holiday ever (hey, you get to be someone else and eat candy!! need I write more?) maybe I should think of doing a Halloween one for myself!! Great idea and really wonderful execution!
