Happy Halloween! I mean Easter wait who forgot about the Irish?

So I've had this pattern around for awhile and just in time for Easter I want to tell you about my Halloween Treat Bag Pattern! 
Ha, I know I must enjoy confusing the life out of my poor family and house. Nobody ever knows what holiday it really is here :)
 These are a tiny little pattern for an adorable Halloween trick-or-treat bag. I made some about 3 years ago for my own kids thinking there had to be something cuter (and with a larger capacity) than the classic pumpkins :) I made them with fabric lying around in green, and purple, or yellow, orange black, etc. You pick any of those Halloween colors and put it on a little kid in a cute costume and you can't go wrong! So they turned out adorable but I did learn a few things in the process :) So I thought I'd write it up and share! Now your kids can have even more fun trick-or-treating and the pictures will be fabulous!

A little fun stuff

Fun stuff is always going on around here, such as these fantastic Amy Butler patterns

and a FQ of pressed flowers (from her daisy chain line) sent from Mallory over at Amy Butler Design

just because I participated in a contest! Wow! Who knew you could win just for playing! I kinda like that theory!
You can probably guess I've added a few things to my to do list! Which one would you do first? The Weekender Travel Bag; the Mini Dress, Tunic, & Tops; or The Nappy Bag? Maybe we'll vote on it and The winning project happens first!

So, after receiving Amy Butler patterns & fabric in the mail I didn't think the day could get much better but, underneath that package I found another awesome surprise! I got my Doll Quilt from my swap partner Claire/milliemorgan!

Isn't she amazing?! Check out the gorgeous applique!
The inset blocks on the backing! I love those kind of details :)
And check this out...
