I have been seeing Modern Maple Quilts everywhere (just google it--there are some pretty spectacular ones) but last week I was in the mood for a quick project.

12 Easy Treats (to make) for Halloween Class Parties
Being an elementary teacher was fun. And class party days--well, I ate them up. They were just so fun for the kids that I really, really enjoyed them.
