Something wicked (awesome) this way comes!

Remember all those spiderwebs I was quilting? 



I've been just dying to show you my Coffin quilt, inspired by our fabulous blog hop hostess with the mostest, Madame Samm.


You probably recognize the pattern: Oh Fransson's New Wave Ghastlies style.  
  

It looked perfectly ghoulish hanging out in the cemetery!

  
But since I really am sick with the Ghastly flu I couldn't stop with just this!  I had to go on and create my
Ghastly Family Portraits.

 
If you came to visit me at home on any ordinary day, (assuming I'd removed all the clutter) this would be the view when I greeted you at the door...


but this Halloween it's looking rather Ghastly: )


My insanely creative friend Aimee at Salt Marsh Designs came up with this fabulous idea of framing these like family portraits.  I just had to take it a step further and created these wall hangings complete with creepy victorian wallpaper and quilted wainscotting to showcase my portraits.  Each panel is actually a slipcover so I just slid them over the pictures that were already hanging there. 

  


Where I usually hang a seasonal quilt I framed up the vintage Unhappy Hour print I found. 


I swear the eyes follow you as you go up the stairs: ) 


Thank you all for visiting!  Don't forget to leave a comment here to be entered for the giveaways and check out all the other ghastly creations on the blog hop... if you dare;-)

    Of course the quilt is lovely (in a creepy sort of way), but the portraits ads so much halloween fun to your decor. I like the "slipcover" idea! That way you don't have to find someplace to store the pictures you'd have to take down.

    the picture slipcovers are an awesome idea, and they look fabulous! whenever i see ideas for seasonal frames online, i always think "but where do you store the ones you took down? my apartment isn't that big!". this doesn't require extra storage space!

    I LUVVVVVVVV that quilt. It came out so awesome and the Ghastlie fabric was just perfect for that type of pattern. Great Job Ghastlie Sistah. :) The portraits were a cool idea too. They make a quick Halloween decoration now and they show off the family so well. When you said the eyes follow you as you walk, that made me think of the Haunted Mansion ride in Disney World. :)

    The New Wave Ghastlies is absolutely the most awesome Ghastlies project I've seen yet. I can hardly wait to try it! I guess that would mean I'd need some Ghastly fabric. Must get on that.

    That photo gallery is awesome. How fun. It's always fun to dress the different areas of the house up for the holidays. I decorated every room in my house when my boys were smaller and honestly miss doing all that. I just can't do all that any longer but sure would if my body would allow me to. It's great to have the change once in awhile and the Ghastlies are perfect for what you've done. Great job.
