First I would like to thank Mdm Samm for being the spooky inspiration behind this Hop and head cheerleader Wendy of Why Knot Kwilt who has done a fantastic job in lining us all up.

VroomansQuilts - you are here
'Black Cat Crossing' by Maywood Studios was the fabric line to inspire us and as great as this fabric is, my year has been using up stash on the shelf. I went another route with a fabric that just screams Halloween and black cats to me.
I just love Sebastian the Cat and all the ghoulish characters in Alexander Henry's 'Ghastlie' line and 3 years of fabrics on the shelf and the new line 'The Last of the Ghastlies' - well, I just had to use this. A farewell of sorts to a spook-tacular line of fabric.
The family album, Sebastian, webs, tombstones, family crypt, the demise of a cast of characters all together for the back (yes, back) of my final Ghastlie quilt.
I wanted to make this quilt from 'Pick Four' by Sue Abrey - a book that has been on my shelf for some time.
It gave the purrfect twist to this fun and twisted fabric.
I wanted to use up all my scraps - this is the end of the Ghastlies after all.
A zip pouch for a bit of fun to go with the divided basket - pattern by Noodlehead.
I had a few strings of Spooky fun left and pulled out my zip baggy of black strings to play with them.
A black cat walking a crooked stile and log - a fun mini to hang for the Holiday. And we say farewell to the Ghastlies.
And since they are all gone, I had to find something else for a give away....
A jelly roll of Moonlight Manor by Deb Strain for Moda. I will ship international and comments will be open until Oct 31st,10pm(EST) - you can get a head start on next year's Halloween project.
Sewingly Yours,

Love the black kitty walling hanging the best, But great use of the fabrics in all the projects. Thanks for sharing!
I like your tribute to the Ghastlies. It has certainly been a fun fabric line to watch. Your black cat is perfect for this hop!
What wonderful projects you have made, Sharon. I love your quilt. Your Ghastlies have gone a long way with all the projects you have made.
Great projects! I have not been familiar with the Ghastlies, maybe I have missed something?! Your black cat wall hanging is adorable!
Love the Ghastlies and you used them in a way to showcase them. Love the black cat,perfect for the hop.
Oh,soo "Gastly" good! Your projects are all great, I especially liked your BFF ag.
What a spook-tacular way to work through your stash!! I especially love the mini cat wall hanging!!
Very nice, Sharon. I love that Pick Fiur with the black and the cat is wonderful too.
What terrific projects you made for this blog hop. Such fun fabrics. Thanks for sharing.
I love my Ghastlies too. You have made so awesome and stunning projects. Thanks for sharing your creativity and being part of this blog hop.
Great quilt pattern for this hop or anytime. Boo hoo about the Ghastlies.
Olá! Adorei a perfeição de seu trabalho e a escolha dos tecidos. Feliz Halloween!
Beautiful as always, Sharon! I especially love your black cat and Rickrack quilts.
That quilt is really fabulous! Love the way the fabrics are perfect for it!
and now I have that poem in my head... or is it a limerick... lol
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
The Ghasties are cool, but I have to admit that I love that black cat hanging even more. Don't you just love Halloween!
Nice Post.
Sharon, it's unbelievable the amount of projects everyone on this hop worked on. Your projects are equally beautiful. Exactly how much time did you guys get to work on these?
Great projects...awesome use of that "ghastly" fabric lol. What a pretty kitty! Love them all.
Very nice! That Rickrack pattern is great.
The Black Cat is my favorite in all his spooky scrapiness (I don't think that is a word). But I think the Rickrack quilt is perfect with the Ghastlies. I will have to check out this pattern. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win.
nice use of all the fabrics, I to love the cat wallhanging. neat design.
Wow! You have some fantastic projects here! Especially love the quilt and that great cat hanging!
This is my favorite spooky line of all times. I LOVE your pick four quilt. Just perfect and the divided basket is great in this line.
That black cat wall hanging is really wonderful. I can't believe the Ghastlies are ending, I've loved them for years.
Great projects Sharon. Your kitty is really cute!
The back is just as interesting as the front of your quilt, I'm glad someone thought of that awesome idea and you carried it out to the fullest. Your little black cat is quite elegant walking along on the top of the board fence! Great showing today Miss Sharon.
What a great collection of projects! That fabric is perfect for the theme, and I love all the ways you used it.
I love the Ghastlies and your quilt is a great tribute to them...it's beautiful! I'm going to miss them and I'm sorry to see them go! Your cat is very cool and looks perfect to bring on the Halloween spirit!
What a great farewell to the Ghastlies.....Sebastian would be proud! Love all of your projects, from the quilt to the mini hanging. And thank you so much for the great giveaway. Boo!
just wonderful! your projects are always great
Wow! Your quilt is beautiful! I also love your divided basket, the zip pouch, and there black cat mini! Good for you for using fabric from your stash!
I really like your quilt pattern and the fabric really makes it shine :) We have that in common...I have hoarded a few yards of the Sebastian print too!
The Ghastlies are great, especially love the back. But my favorite is the Cat the walked the crooked mile. Isn't there a poem about that? Great job on all the projects.
Your projects are lovely. The fabric you chose to give away looks so fun.

I too will miss them when they are gone. They are who got me into this hopping things so many years ago. Love what you did with them in all of your projects. My favorite is the CAT. Wonderful job all around.
Love all of your projects. It seems everyone is trying to use up their scraps to get them gone. I am going to have to work on that since I have so many scraps and they never seem to get used up. Thanks for a chance of winning the bright halloween fabric.
Fabulous projects Sharon!
I love the Ghastlies too but they're not so easy to find here in the UK!
What a perfect way to use up your Ghastlie fabrics and that little kitty wall hanging........is so cute! Thanks for sharing Sharon!
You're a girl after my own heart, using up every single little scrap!

You have done it again , just wonderful Sharon , really love the mini cat with the log cabin blocks , so clever !!
I love. The Ghasties, also. The oranges of Halloween are hard on my senses. Since I am a bag and box enthusiast, I really like your bags. You could use the Rick Rack quilt for Book It.
