EERIE NIGHTS


EERIE NIGHTS


Welcome to Day 6 of a spooky Halloween blog hop. Marian of Seams To Be Sew and Amy of Sew Incredibly Crazy have done a great job of keeping the witches brew stirred with magic potions from so many scary stitchers.  Kitty seems to be checking out the competition for Halloween night. Visit today's witchy stitchers and see their creations. And you might just win an awesome prize of Aurifil thread if you leave a comment. 

                                      


              Check out all the hoppers in Eerie nights at :                             Sew Incredibly Crazy: The Eerie Hop

My first project was black cat place mats. And they did get kitty cat approval for spookiness.


Pumpkins are essential to Halloween and after seeing this cute pattern I knew I needed a table runner. Part of this hop challenge was to show an older project. My witch has survived at least 25 years and has aged well but does need a dye job. The cute hand quilted cushion was a gift from long ago which surfaces every fall. My real pumpkins are less likely to be carved than to be used to create pumpkin jam from a recipe that my mother used when I was a child. 

And cats always watch over and are in control of their domain as they stretch lazily on a fall quilt.

 This is a UFO which I am sure the ghouls did not want me to finish this week because they took control of my sewing machine time. It is too cute not to share. 


So brew some tea and enjoy the other EERIE blog projects.





Think of all the stitches you could create if you won this thread. So do not forget to comment and to fill in the Rafflecopter.

    Looks like you've had lots of fun preparing for this hop! Each of your projects are adorable, esp. the cat wallhanging! Where might that pattern be available! My daughter would love to add it to her collection of seasonal wallhangings (after I make it, of course!). Hope you are well! Don't hear enough from you! XO

    But wanted to say I like your cats all over! Yes, that one is looking "lazily stretched" over the quilt. And the live tabby looks like it's challenging the placemat!
