So here is the official story…
For the past 10 years or so, I have curated a special VINTAGE HALLOWEEN fabric bundle that features the oranges, greys, creams, and warm blacks that I love. Some prints are from my own collections, as well as a mix of other Moda fabric designers whose fabrics and colors lend to this vintage vibe I am going for.
We started doing this because I was never able to find a vintage retro feeling Halloween vibe that really worked for me. I wanted it to be soft and romantic with just a nod to Halloween but mostly that wonderful soft faded orange and butterscotch and black combination that I love so much. It wasn’t what anyone else thought of when they designed Halloween so I set out to create my own perspective.
The bundles were so popular that they inspired my first Halloween feeling line, ALL HALLOW’S EVE. I think we all know that collection was a bit of a run away hit and my most reprinted collection of the past twenty years of designing! A few years later I followed it up with PUMPKINS & BLOSSOMS and this year HARVEST MOON and each time you guys have loved it!
I always figured that you guys would be all good on the vintage Halloween vibe at this point but each year when I considered retiring the annual Halloween bundle, you guys convince me to offer it again. So that brings us here to 2024!
This years bundle might well be one of my all time favorites mostly becuase of all the fabulous, spooky classy William Morris inspired blacks and greys mixed in with those gorgeous butterscotch oranges that we all love so much.
If you are interested, CLICK HERE to check out this year’s bundle.
If nothing comes up when you click on it, that means we have – unfortunately – sold out… but for now there are plenty to go around so grab one and start dreaming of what you might make with it!
As always, the colors are our version of retro Halloween – soft/warm blacks in wonderful classic William Morris prints both real and inspired, butterscotch oranges, pumpkin oranges, creams, dark greys and soft greys… Vintage Halloween at its best!
Our exclusive bundle contains (24) 1/3 yd. cuts of a variety of colors and prints for a total of 8 yards of fabric…as well as a fun Halloween-feeling sticker!
Last year we shared a fabulous Halloween pattern retrospective that will CERTAINLY inspire you. Just type in VINTAGE HALLOWEEN into the search bar at right and you will find all of the various projects we have done with our annual bundles.
And for this year’s quilt inspiration, we will be redoing our DRAGONFLY pattern with this bundle so be sure to come check out Susan’s progress as she shows us more blocks as she finishes them. Thank you for this first sneak peak at your first few blocks Susan!
And this below you might ask? Well its just a gratuitous photo of our favorite black cat, William and some Dragonfly blocks!

Sadly I missed the beautiful bundle…but where do I get that STICKER? And what kind of quilt block is the sticker?

That is a sticker that we have been adding to some of our orange and black bundles so keep your eyes open. It is our ROSEHIPS block that we have made in several different variations over the years. It is such a fun block to make!
