Welcome
to
to
the first day of the
Queen of Gadgets Blog Hop.
I'm happy to kick things off with
The Magical Needle.
and
tell exactly why we love it.
What better tool to start the hop with than the foundation for all sewing, the magical needle?
Thank you, Carol, for inviting me to join this super fun blog hop!
Who decided the sizing of needles???
The larger the number the smaller the needle?
My witch really likes a big needle!
She is stitching to get ready for Halloween
and
is joining my Stitchy Witchy table runner witches...
"The Magical Needle" witch pattern is the sitting down witch from the runner,
only I enlarged her and made a very large needle.
After all, it's about the gadgets this week.

ReplyDeleteWell you are so right - where would we be in our sewing rooms without needles?! Cute project! xx
ReplyDeleteI would love to make placements
ReplyDeleteI haven't made a Halloween quilt in years and lately have been thinking it would be fun to make another one for my daughter's family as they love halloween so much.
ReplyDeleteGreat project! The witches table runner and the single witch are all so cute.
ReplyDeleteVery cute and colorful.
ReplyDeleteI love the big magical needle, I bet she can get a lot of sewing done!! I would use it in table runners or a wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteI'd make a quilt for our son. He loves to decorate for different holidays.
ReplyDeleteCute witch with her huge needle. I would make a Halloween quilt. 24Tangent@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, your projects have captured my Halloween lovin heart! The magic needle is so stinkin cute and at my age having an eye that big would be a huge plus! LOL!! Thanks for sharing your creative talents with us. I do believe my table may just need a new runner this Halloween! hehehehe
ReplyDeleteWe have to have a needle or there is no sewing! I think you must have figured out the queen of gadgets for sure, Carla! I love your witch with the needle and little pumpkin quilt! The witchy table runner is amazing too!
ReplyDeleteCarla!...how cute ALL your hand stitching witches are! Perfect decor for the home of a sewist. Now you remind me that I forgot to put a needle in the border of my wall quilt. I love that your stitching witch has stitched herself a pumpkin for carving. I love seeing all the colors of Halloween in your post!
ReplyDeleteI love your witch but I'm a bit scared of her needle lol!
ReplyDeleteTo me a magical needle rates right up there with the magical seam ripper!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in the runner
Your little witch is great! I wonder what she will make with her big needle.
ReplyDeleteWhat great Halloween projects. I love the colors. Those fat quarters would make great little pillows for decorating.
ReplyDeleteYour project is cute! Never enough needles of all kinds.Keeping track of all the different kinds I need is a task. And yes, the numbering always confuses me.
ReplyDeleteThere would be no sewing, by hand or machine, without out those beloved needles. One as big as your witchy one might be a little overwhelming, though! Your quilt is wickedly beautiful and that runner is just the best! Thanks for sharing your gadget!
ReplyDeleteI think we all love our magical needles, but your little witch clearly is not going to let go of hers! Cute quilts!
ReplyDeleteOh my but your witch is wonderful. She is going to make a wonderful Halloween project. Thanks so much for sharing and for inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI love your Stitchy Witchy!
ReplyDeleteLove your spooky fabric!
ReplyDeleteSo true re: the needle. Indeed magical. Your witchy table runners are so cute.
ReplyDeleteAs a side note I use to teach a class called Magical Threads...
ReplyDeleteI love Stitchy Witchy, she is adorable. I think I have every kind of magical needle there is, embroidery, Crewel, regular, beading, tapestry, quilting. Thanks for sharing, both of these are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin your witch. She seems to be a master with her most valuable gadget.
ReplyDeleteYes, it definitely helps to have the right needle for the right right job! Love your witches!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute pattern, Carla! Thanks for sharing your creation and I agree, needles are SUPER important in our craft!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that runner is so cute! I don't decorate much for Halloween but that pattern might make me change it up.
ReplyDeleteYou are always so creative. Love all your Halloween projects!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great block!!! With all of our technology, the needle is really what makes the magic work!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! We can't sew without needles!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if maybe she has turned in her broom and now will be riding the "magic needle" It looks like a form of transportation Joan. Thanks
ReplyDeleteVery cute project!!!
ReplyDeleteI need a Magical Needle Witch in my sewing room to keep my needles threaded and sharp! I'm sure there is a spell for that. What a great start to this blog hop. Your quilt is darling, and I love the table runner. Thank you so much for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful runner and that witch with the large needle is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour Halloween creations are always so much fun! Love this witch with a large needle!
ReplyDeleteWe can't sew without a needle, but one just a little smaller than the one Stitchy Witchy is holding. Your Stitchy Witchy is too stinkin' cute! Love the bright happy colors used.
ReplyDeleteYou are right that a needle is a basic requirement. Love the Halloween project. Thanks for sharing the fun and seasonal project.
ReplyDeleteCute Halloween witch.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute quilt, Carla!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable witch! Needles- we cannot do without them!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable Carla
ReplyDeleteThe needle is where it all begins. Your little mini is sooo cute. Wonderful job on it too.
ReplyDeleteI love your magic needle and think your designs are wonderfully creepy, too. Oh, dear, 'stick a needle in my eye', good grief, I hope that never happens!
ReplyDeleteA sharp needle is certainly basic to any sewing. Every witch needs at least one to keep her cape and bloomers in tip top shape! I always love your creativity!
ReplyDeleteYour needle is the perfect gadget! Without it we could not sew! Love it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable witch made with " needles", a great gadget.
ReplyDeleteThat witch is as cute as a button. Seeing your quilt immediately brought a smile to my day.
ReplyDeleteLove orange and purples together.
ReplyDeleteSo true, we all do need needles. The sizing can be confusing though I agree. Your witch quilt is so cute.
ReplyDeleteHow appropriate. While going through boxes a box was handed to me to go through. All sorts of pieces of paper with needles, all different sizes! My daughter says I officially have enough needles to last a lifetime. If I was a newborn. LOL Love your piece you created, you are so imaginative and talented!
ReplyDeleteThat has to be the cutest Halloween witch ever! And I can definitely see why you call Carol's bunny "creepy"!
