Something’s Brewing, all right, with this Halloween wall hanging!
This Halloween wall hanging is spooky fun to make.
What is this Halloween wall hanging quilt?
First, Something’s Brewing features a bubbling cauldron. The cauldron stands on two honey-buzzard claw feet. There’s even a broomstick to stir the pot! Bubbles and steam boil over the top and edges onto the fun background fabrics!
How is Something’s Brewing made?
Most importantly, this quilted Halloween wall hanging is made using both SPOOKY sides of one focus fabric. The cauldron is shown made from the RIGHT sides of a black fabric with white spider webs. However, the bubbles and steam are made from the REVERSE of the same focus fabric. Make the binding with the same fabric, as well.
The pattern comes complete with a full-size paper template.
Secondly, make the quilt using easy and fast fusible applique techniques.
Value is the key to unlock the magic of this Halloween wall hanging.
Discover the nuances of value as you learn how to audition BOTH spooky sides of fabric! Begin with the focus fabric. Once you’ve chosen that, start auditioning both sides of possible background fabric options.
The scrappy background fabrics.
Make your quilt sparkle by choosing a variety of background fabrics. Something’s Brewing is shown here with an eclectic mix:
- My favorite fabric in this quilt: text from MacBeth!
- Beige newsprint
- Vanilla Grunge
- Mottled Aqua
- Stone Gray
- Stonehenge (REVERSE)
- Several Halloween motif fabrics
- Plaid with glitz

Finally, I have to share how fun it was to design and make this quilt, especially the honey buzzard claw feet and broomstick. Also, I love to see the creative cauldrons that customers and students make! There are LOTS of fun Halloween fabrics out there (and maybe in your stash) that would make a great cauldron.
I love how your Something’s Brewing wall hanging came out! It looks fantastic! Also, thanks for your soup recipe. I can’t wait to make it! I had so much fun in your colorful wings class! Looking forward to your next class!
Great! Hope to see you there! Something’s Brewing is on October 20th and Colorful Petals is November 15!
