Welcome
to
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.
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,
(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
Each witch is colored differently and each one is stitching with a line of thread
that was triple stitched by machine.

Your runner is sooooo cute. I am going to have to try the EZ Print Lite for applique. Your appliques are always just right.
This is so cute! Looks like a lot of work and your applique stitches are beautiful. Don't know that I'd have the patience for all those pieces myself but I'd give it a go cuz it's so cute!
