QuiltInk Challenge Sep24

Are you a spooky quilter? Do you love sewing quilts and projects for Halloween? Here in Spain, Halloween isn’t as deeply rooted in our culture as it is in the U.S., but I absolutely love the Halloween palettes and colors.

While planning the September Challenge, I noticed that Libs Elliott is releasing her new Glaze II collection, and I thought it would be perfect for our challenge! So, I teamed up with Libs again to bring this challenge to life.

Are you ready to create lots of Halloween-themed mock-ups?

Before starting, let’s give a big congratulations to XXXXX for winning the August Challenge. She is the winner of a $50 credit shop for Binded with Love Etsy Shop

GLAZE II is the second Glaze collection that dials up the brightness with 22 bold, vibrant colours and two more neutrals. GLAZE II is fantastic on its own or as a blender in your most colourful projects.

Start planning your upcoming Halloween quilting projects with this wonderful fabric Collection as you join our monthly challenge!

Note: Glaze II will be available soon in shops.

Libs Elliott

Libs Elliott, a Canadian quilter in Toronto, transitioned from a childhood surrounded by antique quilts to a career in quilting, inspired by her love for textiles and a background in weaving and natural dyeing.
