Here in Australia, the younger folks are starting to celebrate Halloween - I have some treats ready for the little ones who come knocking this evening - they are usually accompanied by an adult - a lot of fun for them!
My Bird of Paradise is finished - I'm sure he will make a grand addition to my Civil War Bride Quilt - he took quite a bit of time to come to fruition but it has been worthwhile!

Five blocks completed - I haven't decided how big the quilt will be. Perhaps The Bride will be my next venture!.jpg)
Siggie squares all ready to be posted to Melissa in the USA - this has been a fun swap and I am so looking forward to the return 74 squares - it will be the first Signature Quilt I have owned!.jpg)
My Stitcher's Angel gift must be posted today, too - I think I have shown you this little potholder before - since then I have been able to find grommets/eyelets, so more are on my must-do list as stocking fillers!.jpg)
Another weekend on our doorstep - hope yours is filled with nice things to do!
PS - Oopsy! One day early!

Beautiful work here - and I love the idea of a signature quilt. I've not heard of that before.
Hey Lurline! Your bird of paradise is SPECTACULAR! Well done! I bet there were quite a few hours of work in that pretty bird - can't wait to see what your finished quilt looks like! Bear Hugs! KRIS
I echo all previous comments - that bird of paradise is something to be envied. As for the pot holder, it's too nice to be used - if it was mine I would frame it for my sewing room.
