Remember I said I had a Halloween project in mind? At the time, I was thinking about the Twister Jack pattern by Need'l Love. But when I went looking for it in my patterns, I found three more Halloween patterns I had sort of forgotten about, but they're among my favorites. (Admittedly, I'm sure I have a couple more "favorite" Halloween patterns that I just didn't come across before I stopped looking--yes, I'm hopeless.) So now I have four possible projects and I can't decide which I want to work on. Or I should say, "which I want to work on first." Because of course I want to make them all, but who knows if I'll even find time this year to get to making a second project. So I have to pick carefully. And I'm kind of leaning toward the Buttermilk Basin pattern. Do you want to know why?
Last year I made this other Buttermilk Basin pattern, and I just LOVE it! So the owl would go pretty well with the black cat, and really, the cat was fairly quick to make.
I was kind of surprised I still had the pattern for the cat. What do you think? Do you like it? Do YOU want to make it? Because you know me--I usually give away my patterns when I'm done. So, if you'd like a chance to win this vintage-looking black cat pattern (PATTERN only--the framed wool piece is staying right here!), please leave me a comment asking to be entered in the drawing. I'll pick a winner Thursday night and announce the winner on Friday's blog post.
So maybe I'll make the Buttermilk Basin owl. But darn it! I really love the All Through the Night pattern--wouldn't "Boo Kitty" look cute with the Buttermilk Basin black cat? After all, I am kind of partial to black cats. Then again, maybe I need to see the wool tablerunner by Nutmeg Hare on my autumn table. How cute is that? And it's not just Halloween either so I'd be able to leave it out until it's time to decorate for Christmas! Yeah, but the Twister Jack . . . that's what really started all this in the first place. How will I feel if I don't make that one? See what I mean? Double, double, toil and trouble!

Love, love, love your black cat! Cats are always welcome at my house so please add me to the drawing.
Good Luck with picking just one pattern, lol!
I would love to win your black cat pattern.

Kim I would love to make that pattern. Like you I always find other patterns that I had good intentions for.
Would love the chance to win the black cat pattern. Cats are one of my favoriate animals. Had 5 one time. They kept showing up at my door.

That cat is wonderful, would love a chance at making him :) and I agree those patterns all look like they need to be made...good luck with your choice as any of them look like the right choice to me!
Twister Jack is fast! You could do it in just 1 or 2 sessions. Make it while you're deciding which of the other two!!
What a decision! How will you choose? Eeny, Meeny or flip a coin(s)?
I love your black cat and would love to have the pattern; I don't have any Halloween projects to choose from here.
My sister Pam loves Halloween and I would love to make this for her.Look forward to reading your blog each morning.
Kim I think I have that same owl pattern! I'm currently making the Buttermilk Basin patter with the owl and the moon (I think it's from the Wool and Needle collection). I would love to make that cat and match the owl.
It's all your fault I ordered Twister Jack! He's completed now and I absolutely love him. I'm adding an angled striped border of all the leftover 1" strips and another glittery black on the outside. He's a very sophisticated pumpkin. Yes, I think you should do him next--and send me the pattern so I can do another Hallowe'en pattern--my newest favourite thing to do! That is, if the draw is open to Canadians!
Please enter my name. that is an adorable and doable pattern.
I'd love to win the pattern! He's adorable!
Oh MY, you do have a problem don't you....Since you started with the Twister Jack, I say stick with that on first, the owl second but then again......oh my...
If you are finished with the Black Cat pattern and want to give it away, please pick me. I would love, love, love, to have him

Love the cat - he is so cute and no fur allergies! I did think the twister jack was sensational when I saw it, like lots of the twister patterns. Bought a twister template but haven't gotten past the sewing and then cutting up what I sewed to get going on a twister pattern.Yet!! Stephani in N. TX (Tomazec@aol.com)
Since I am owned by two black kitties, I would love to make this black kitty.
I'd love a chance to win that darling Halloween kitty! Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday and I love making things for it. Your post inspired me to find that owl pattern as well and I'm definitely making it so thanks!
My favorite time of year is finally here, YAY! You have a very hard decision to make, I wish I could help they're all great patterns. I made a smallish pumpkin wall quilt last year, I loved the way it came out and was quilted, guess what? I'd like to hang it for the fall but, I can't find it. It's lost in my somewhat organized sewing room. Good luck making your choice. Thanks for the chance to win. ;->
Halloween is my favorite for decorating. I've got a drawer full of orange, black, and gold wool pieces to make that adorable cat pattern. Thanks for the chance. Oh, and I vote for the owl pattern! Hootie needs to be framed right next to Wilma!
I like them all! I just did the twister jack but I used 5 inch squares. I would love to win the Cat Pattern. Thanks for the draw.

Halloweer is such a spooky night I would love the Black Cat pattern to add to my decor. Thanks for the chance . Hard to choose between Buttermilk Basin Owl or Twister Jack for your next project. Maybe both ??
I love everything Halloween... and Christmas. Would love a chance to win the black cat pattern. thanks
Make the owl to go along with the kitty! What a great pair!
Love your version of the cat pattern. I think I'd do it in wool if you happen to pick me. Great give away idea.
You're so generous with your patterns. I would love the chance to make my own black cat.
Love the pattern and also Buttermilk basin
I agree that the owl would compliment the black cat wonderfully. What a fun choice you have to make.
i have to say i have the same problem -- too many halloween patterns and not enough time. but i would love to have one more favourite -- the cat. and i vote for you making the other cat next -- double cats please enter me in the drawing and let's get started on halloween
Love your black cat. I have several Halloween quilts and patterns for more. I am getting into wool and would love the kitty pattern.
Love that black cat. Very cute. The owl is what's popular now and doesn't necessarily have to be Halloween. You could just fashion it to be "autumn".
Would love to add that cat to my Vintage patterns. Please enter me.
Oh my, I'm glad it's you and not me who has to decide...I'd probably procrastinate until Christmas. The cat is very cute, please enter me in your giveaway.
I love cats, Halloween and wool stitcheries. Please add me to your giveaway and thanks! I vote for the owl stitchery!
Would love the cat pattern. Need to make some deco for Halloween.
8 would love to try the Kitty cat! (I cant wait to see the Nutmeg Hare one! CUTE CUTE CUTE!
