Here's what June had to say about her tutorial:  Long, long ago in a far away land.... I designed needlepoint. Was actually pretty good at it too...but it's difficult to keep a business up and running when you are the one who does it all, so I stopped designing needlepoint, and went to work in an office...

While rummaging through several CDs, looking for something completely different, I ran across one of the online projects I had offered. It is darned cute I have to admit....and since it's Halloween, I thought..."hey, why not put it up on the blog?", so, here it is!

June's Bio:  Me... a dreamer, a ponderer of big and small thoughts. A wanna-be artist, a soon to be empty-nester... wondering what the heck I am gonna do with the rest of my life...

Halloween Hauntings Mini-Quilt Free Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

Halloween is the perfect time for decorating - especially with mini quilts.   If you're looking for a spooky mini-quilt for your Halloween decorating then you'll be pleased to see that Kaaren Johnston had a wonderful pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a "Halloween Hauntings" mini quilt.

First Friday Freebie #2 - Halloween Hauntings

Copyright © 2009 - All Rights Reserved - Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern:  Today is the First Friday of October, so that means my second Freebie design…’Halloween Hauntings’… is available for your enjoyment, right here and right now!

Please indulge me a bit while I tell you how this project evolved.

Since Halloween occurs on the 31st of October and because I love to decorate for the seasons, I thought that a Halloween themed design would be appropriate for my second FFF (First Friday Freebie).

Initially, my original design started off as a Halloween, sampler-style stitchery and it was my intention to stop at that.
