A time for mischief, magic, mystery and superstition, when the dead are said to rise from their graves.

On a background of patchwork fabrics printed with Halloween imagery, Linda has tatted pumpkins, ghosts, a skeleton, a gingerbread man, a cat, a bat and more, and captured the fun of it all with Boo! - that's what children say when jumping out on people to give them a fright!

Back of picture. In keeping with the other aspect of Halloween, Linda commemorates her grandmother and her 1907 sewing machine, used for assembling this wall hanging.
