Happy Halloween

Wow, October has been a fun month with lots of projects.

Witchy Stitchy is now one of my best selling patterns.

Thank you!!

My sweet Granddaughter is ready to trick or treat with her new bag

that I was thrilled to present over at Thermoweb.

it's the perfect size for a toddler and will be a cute little purse even after Halloween.

The details are over on the Thermoweb blog.

I am the October Quilt Block designer for 

A Time for All Seasons Block of the Month.

Happy Jack and Gathering Leaves

are the October quilt blocks.

Today is the last day to get the blocks for free.

Have a Happy Halloween and we will see you tomorrow for the newest quilt blocks

for the Block of the Month!

Stay tuned for the newest blog hop too...

Stay safe!

Fall Quilt Market 2019 - My Little Contributions

I will admit, I am a little (lot) bummed I am not at quilt market

this weekend.

I went back and forth about whether to go or not.

The decision to stay was based on the fact that I would have to go by myself

and

that isn't really an option for me right now.

BUT, I do have a few items on display at market.

This is Feather Me a Rainbow

and

it's over in the Thermoweb booth #1848.

Go check out the new products.

I heard there is a NEW HeatnBond EZ Tee Stabilizer that’s perfect for Tee-shirt quilts!

Check out my 

Two Bottle Wine Tote

there too.

I spent one-day last month playing with a new fabric collection

by Jackie Kunkle for Island Batik called Ancient Etchings.

Island Batik asked me to make

 Alice the Alpaca

from the Funky Friends Factory.

Here she is at market, Booth #1920, with her friend Lloyd Llama made by another 

Island Batik Ambassador,

Jennifer at Curlicue Creations.

.  Someone gave them pompom collars.

  So cute...

The Stu the Sea Turtle was made by Island Batik Ambassador, Vasudha Govindan of Storied Quilts, I believe.

More info on the other can be found on Canton Village Quilt Works Facebook post by clicking HERE. 

The fabrics are available in shops in Jan/Feb 2020.

I do have one other item in Houston,

but I'll post more on that later.

It has been fun from afar...

Top it Off with Witchy Stitchy

Welcome
to

the first day of the

Witchy Stitchy Blog Hop.

I'm happy to kick things off with

my

little

Witchy Stitchy Witchy.

I love Halloween, but no one does Halloween projects like Carol at Just Let Me Quilt.

She is perfect to lead us on this spooky journey.

Thank you, Carol, for inviting me to join this super fun blog hop!

My stitching for the hop is pulling double duty.

You see,

I am an Island Batik Ambassador for 2019

and every month there is an ambassador challenge.

The Island Batik Ambassador Challenge

this month is

"Top it Off"

with

either a holiday table topper or runner that includes applique.

So I combined the hop and challenge and today I present to you,

Stitchy Witchy

my Halloween table runner.

Look at all the little helpers I had to stitch up my 

12" x 42" table runner.

I created the pattern with Electric Quilt. 

Next, I pieced the pumpkin blocks with

Island Batik Foundation fabrics.

Then the stitching witches were 

appliqued with Island Batik stash fabrics 

and

my favorite fabric adhesive,

 HeatnBond EZ Print Lite 

(no tracing!)

I stitched around my little witches with Aurifil 50 wt thread #4225 with a blanket stitch and the quilting is meandering leaves.  The rest is a meandering stitch with Aurifil 50 wt #2150.

Hobbs provided the Ambassadors with batting

and I chose to use the Heirloom Natural Cotton Batting for the Witchy Stitchy table runner.

I had so much fun choosing the 

Witchy Stitchy outfits

with the bright and colorful

Island Batik fabrics.

Each witch is colored differently and each one is stitching with a line of thread

that was triple stitched by machine.

Be sure to visit the other bloggers posting

for the Witchy Stitchy

Blog Hop today.
