Eerie Night Hop - My Day and a Giveaway

Today is the final
day of the


Hop! 
Thank you to all of you that have stopped
in and visited everyone's blog.
A big thanks to Marian for entrusting me
with hosting this hop while she
in one her way back to the states.


I figured since I was hosting the hop,
I need to join in the fun.

No quilting for this project,
I had to create a Mad Hatter costume for my daughter.
She doesn't like to match anyone
else, so a handmade jacket
was just the ticket.

This is what I came up with for her..


 Using Simplicity pattern #8020, fabric, interfacing,
some of my favorite threads, 
and a few hours.
I made her this.... 







As you can see the Mad Hatter,
(well the newer version)
had spools of thread for a sash.
I threaded them
all using DMC embroidery floss
(Love that stuff)


My favorite are the variegated
spools.  
They are so fun. 


I might have to put them all in
a jar after Halloween is
over.
If I can get them back from
my daughter.

For my Halloween projects of past,
in my home
I don't decorate a lot,
but here are a couple of my favorite
decorations.
My one and only Halloween quilt,
which you can see here in more detail.


I also just finished a tutorial
over at Thermoweb
for these little pumpkins.


They are going to
work their way right into
my Thanksgiving décor.


Now how about a giveaway...
A beautiful thread set from
Aurifil. 






I hope you enjoyed your stop here
and please stop by the rest of the
hoppers for today.

Black Cat Crossing Hop

Wicked Wendy has the Schedule HERE
Hello and welcome to My Stop
of the Wicked
Black Cat Crossing Hop

I choose to pick out three different patterned
fabrics from the adorable Maywood Studio's
Black Cat Crossing.
I worked up a table runner
with them.
I also added a little
chalkboard fabric in the center.
The kids enjoy writing fun notes.
I am not really the scary
Halloween type, so
this is the cutest tombstone
that I could come up with. 
Can you tell that I am enjoying the
chalkboard fabric. 


Go check out what the
other Ghouls and Goblins
created for the hop.
