I realised I had not posted about the October block so here it is now. Could not decide what to do at first then hit on the idea of doing a bock around Halloween.
I do like my catbat in the left hand corner and the spiders web has worked quite well with a tatted spider that is a little on the large size for it. I feel it needs a bit more on it but not sure what so will leave it till all 12 are done then hopefully inspiration will come. The orange ribbon looked rather in my face but see on the photo it has calmed down a bit. Of course I could not resit a few bits of tatting, no crochet this time though. I also used Sharon`s stencil, these have been a great buy, have not used them to their full potential by any means, they are from Sharon she can be found under pintangle, sorry have not worked out how to add as a link, have had a few instructions but still not there yet!
I have signed up for CQJP 2014 but think I will not make all 12 blocks in advance like I did this year as I want to add more lace etc and maybe do the blocks in different colours and with more patches on them who knows i could change my mind half a dozen times between now and then
I have added a sizzix big shot machine to my collection of bits and pieces, it was an offer to good to refuse at hobbycraft, down to £50 for a few days, normally about £75, have also bought the hexagon and tumbler dies but not worked out how to use it yet, must take the bull by the horns and have a go!!
Will put the latest Tula blocks on tomorrow when they get uploaded to the web site.

Margaret, you must be so disciplined to achieve so much. You are so productive and everything is so interesting for us to look at.
I like that Halloween block with the spider's web and the witch's hat and broom.
Doing the crazy blocks differently next year is a good idea, then you know which way you like working.
I especially like the pumpkin and the stitching behind the spider's web. Great block!
I love this block Margaret , but I can`t decide on which part is my favourite - the spider , the bat or the witch`s broom and hat ! I love them all .
This is lovely and spooky!

What fun! I like the orange 'grid' behind the spider and web. It adds a lot of depth. Should be fun to see a years worth.
Also, love your little bag a couple posts back (could see pictures this morning.)
October is such a vibrant month of color, scent, and fresh weather. Inspiration will certainly keep you going:)

Nice Halloween block. I like the pumpkin and the spider.
love your spider web and looks like a gate background.
A spooky block , I specially like the spider's web, and the rest of it pretty too.
I really like that tatted spider, Margaret. I can imagine a whole nest of them, it would be extremely creepy! *shudder*
So you finally bought the Sizzex! Let us know if you think it was worth the money. I am still on the fence about those. Happy quilting!
This block is lovely Margaret, I actually liked all of them this year and I think the colors look lovely the theme is very appropriate to the month too. :) Renata
