Happy Halloween

It's the 11th hour, but I got the last bit of binding,

stitched down, just in time!

:-)

This cutie is from Applique Garden's

block of the week patterns from Angie Padilla.

You can see more

HERE

I've found this fun backing in my stash...

can't even remember where or when I bought it.

I really need to go thru this stash more often!

LOL!

"Sew" enjoy Halloween your way!

Here's lookin' at you kid!

Keep on Stitchin'

Eerie Nights Comes to an End

It's always just a little bit sad for me, when a great

blog hop comes to an end.

This time was no exception, especially since

Halloween is my favorite time of the year.

I had to ease the pain by throwing a little

Halloween Party for quilt club yesterday.

I must confess...

I've become a Pinterest junkie because of this!

We started out with a box of Krispy Kreme donuts...

adapted for the season of course!

There's just something about your food looking at you...

Moving on to lunch...

Served in a microwave bowl holder for the holidays of course.

Take a close look here. No, it's not your eyes or computer screen...

This spaghetti is purple.

All kinds of fun Halloween ideas for foodies!

HERE

With the addition of Eyeball Meatballs

HERE

No lunch would be complete without

"Bloody Shirley Temples"

HERE

I couldn't find syringes anywhere, so the next best thing

at the $1 store... a turkey injector!

Better yet, as it holds way more blood...

:-)

Whats more fun than ice cubes with spiders in them?

HERE

Then were were treats...

with treats inside this edible treat!

HERE

(I opted to not put on cupcakes)

More treats...

Pretzels

HERE

and

Bat Bites

HERE

(go for the dark chocolate Reese's Minis)

Yummmmmy!

I put on my crafting hat for this Spell book!

HERE

A trip to the Goodwill found the perfect economics

textbook for $2.50. I'm sure some college kid spent

$200 on it for a class! If economics won't cast a spell on ya,

I don't know what will. LOL!!!

And an apothecary jar

HERE

I must confess, I could get really hooked on these crazy crafts again!

I had an epic fail with this soap...

HERE

Halloween soap add-in's just didn't make the mark.

Maybe it was defective $1 store toys!

LOL!!

Oh well, it was fun playing with it.

For every fail, there is a great success.

These were the hit of the party.

"Keeper of the Cheerios" was my inspiration for these

fun wine glass candle holders.

HERE

I made a few changes to the witch.

I wanted more hair and a real witch hat

I made my bangs longer and wider...

The hair (considerably longer and wider also) was

gathered at the top.

Wow, this is a horrible photo, but you can see that you stitch the

2 ends together.

Put your beauty parlor skills to work and trim up

some additional bangs!

Hobby Lobby had the perfect hats.

They have seams in them.

You can turn them inside out and pull out a few stitches,

(in the point only, not the brim)

allowing them to go over the wine glass stem.

Once you turn back and slide over stem, hand stitch back together.

Oh it's quite a change, from stitching binding on a quilt for sure!

hahahahaha

Just push the point of the hat up, to your liking and decorate.

I used a fun glitter Tulle for a bow on the brim and

a very cool "Diamond" spider ring!

(tee hee)

Candles on top...

...LED flicker lights under the glass,

gives these guys such a fun glow.

It really spices up your holiday table.

Oh, and there are more

HERE

at "Keeper of the Cheerios"

Christmas, Easter, 4th of July, Micky and Minnie Mouse, weddings...

my head is just spinning.

I can see I am going to need to get a case of these wine

glasses...

$1 store here I come.

:-)

Treats a plenty

and a good time was had by all...

I'm sure the neighborhood heard we were having a great time!

LOL!!!!!!!

Thanks girls for the best quilt club ever.

Happy Hauntings to you!

Eerie Nights Blog Hop

Did someone say Eerie Nights????

That sounds like Halloween to me, and you know, I'm

all about Halloween...

Witchy, as I am!

LOL!!!!

It's "eerie"

and it's "sceery"

delightfully a "dreery"

We're all together "weery"...

Ok, I've got to shake this Adams Family theme song from my head.

Especially since, I've run out of words that rhyme and I can't spell!

So is this a trick, or is this a treat?

For me it was a treat!

A treat to be able to get in there

and play with free motion quilting, that is.

"Happy Halloween"

is a "Stitches of Love" pattern.

I found the pattern at a shop,

while Row by Row shopping this year.

They now offer this as a row of the month.

You can find more on that

HERE

and tons of other fun stuff!

Give away time.

The great folks at Quilters Dream, will be sending one of you

some of their fabulous batting to try.

A big thanks to them for supporting this hop.

Another big thanks to Marian from "Seams to be Sew"

for tempting me with this Eerie blog hop.

And Amy from "Sew Incredibly Crazy" for stepping in to host...

...as well as all my other blogging buddies.

You've inspired me more than you know!

;-)

Have you ever thought about doing something completely different, than what your used to? When someone suggested we spend a night at a Paint and Sip studio, I knew I was in. Not that I can draw worth beans, but I have that sipping thing down to a science.
