The Magical Needle - Queen of Gadgets Blog Hop and Giveaway

Welcome
to
the first day of the
Queen of Gadgets Blog Hop.

I'm happy to kick things off with
The Magical Needle.


Carol of Just Let Me Quilt invited bloggers to make a project with a favorite sewing tool
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!


I think the sewing needle is certainly the queen of all gadgets and has been around since pre-historic times.  There are so many types of sewing needles and if you can understand the size of a needle, you have accomplished something.  
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...


You can find that pattern HERE.

"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.

Stick a needle in my eye...

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,


(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.
