Good morning!
Thank you for all of your kind comments yesterday!
When I was growing up, Halloween was my favorite holiday. Mom never liked the holiday much, and complained one time that I liked it better than Christmas. For me, it was a no brainer — I got to dress up, and people gave me free chocolate! What’s not to like?
The Halloween wall hanging is from a pattern by Shabby Fabrics. It was completed in 2018. I used invisible thread to top stitch the appliqué. If the wallhanging is held up to the light, you can see it shine through the needle holes, which is kind of cool. I was drawn to this design because it reminded me of two cross stitch projects I completed in the 90’s.
The happy pumpkin is from a Facebook live project with Jenny and Misty in 2019. I finished it last year.
The quilt is another 2020 finish, from a panel I bought in 2017 or 2018. The original plan for the back was to stitch the various prints together without sashing. That did not look good at all. I added the sashing and voila! I think I like the back better than the front. I quilted it on my embroidery machine.
Thank you for looking!
