...and two more...

Two more blocks for my various projects are done.  The first is my little witch for my 'Bewitched" Halloween quilt:



The second is Block 7 for the red version of my Henrietta Whiskers. 


Thanks to everyone for their continued visits and  great comments on my last few posts.

Back to Your Regularly Scheduled Program

I forced myself to put my 'Bewitched' project aside for a few days.  Yes...the beginning of the month 'guilt'  has set in.  I completed Block 4 for Blessings of Spring from Shabby Fabrics.  It has a very pretty fussy-cut vase with some bright colored tulips. 

After starting on the block, I also got the next block for Henrietta Whiskers ready.  This is the blue version for Bears Paw Fabrics.  I also fussy cut all the little windows and door for this block.
I don't think I posted a picture of Block 7 for this one, so here you go:
I really like the fabric I used for her house.
(My editing was horrible.  My little squirrel has a bit of a "glow", it seems.  Oops!)

A Place to Call Home

My young little witch needed place to live.  Her little house at 1313 Witchy Way:

Her new little kitty, Boo, is waiting for her in the attic.

* * * Bibbitty, Bobbitty Boo! * * *

Ask and you shall receive!  I have just finished the final sparkly touches on my young little witch's hat.  She will be all set to go out in her most "bewitching" duds!


See?  Even that little ghost is quite entranced! ;)

Caramel Apples and Crows

Doesn't sound like a recipe for something very good, does it?  LOL!  But these are the subject of my latest two blocks for ....drumroll, please...I think I have a name for it, my Halloween quilt, "Bewitched!"

Candy apples are a fun treat for fall...but caramel apples?  Even better!!


and, then there are three more little crows...of course, one of them had to be a bit ornery and not follow with the others!
Good news ~ I am almost done my witch's hat...pictures soon. :)

Tombstones

Ahh...not a subject one might want to be thinking about, right?  These tombstones are all in fun.  Block 1 for my Halloween quilt (I really need a name....suggestions?)  finally done (no pun intended). 

And  in case you are wondering, the faces for the stones came from the panel fabric in the Haunted Hollow collection....I have used another portion of the panel in the block I am working on now....spooky trees!

Lots of ideas for this quilt...a witch's hat, a candy dish with Halloween candy favorites, and maybe some candy apples, too!
