The Something Wicked Blog Hop Challenge started Monday, hosted by the amazing Carol @Just Let Me Quilt. Many thanks to Carol for another wonderful challenge!
Carol says about the challenge: "Your idea of "wicked" might be completely different than mine, so take this where you want to. Of course, it is Halloween-related, so include that in your wicked creations."
I get my Halloween decorations out the first part of October, and always love getting them out. Here are some of the things I have made or collected in prior years.
What I decided to work on for this challenge was my Witch Hazel stitchery. This was a primitive stitchery by I Done My Best. It has been prepped and ready to stitch probably 20 years or more, sitting in a pile I came across again, and was determined to finish it finally. I was thinking to myself I wish my husband was still alive and could make me a primitive frame, and I came across one in my craft room that he had made. I painted it black and painted the moon and stars on it.
Witch Hazel looks good above my gnome witch.
I had hoped to work on this other project, but didn't get too far due to other activities this month. I made some of the star blocks, but the applique middle needs 420 inches of bias tape, which isn't completed yet. Maybe next year.
The entire line-up of bloggers is listed below. Be sure and go visit and see what they have come up with.

All very pretty Halloween decorations. I especially love the crow pillow.
ReplyDeleteYour witch turned out great! Glad you found a frame for it. Next year's project looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteWitch Hazel is fun and how great to find a frame made by your husband that makes it so special! I love your gnome pillow banner at the top too, those look so fun!
ReplyDeleteKarrin, you have some really cool decorations! I especially like the witch pillow! Your witch embroidery is awesome--good work! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo many "wickedly" wonderful Halloween delights! I love Witch Hazel. The frame you found is perfect for showing her off. Your last project is going to be really cool when it's done. 420" of bias is a lot!
ReplyDeleteWitch Hazel is wickedly wonderful, Karrin! I love how her hair is all over the place, probably from a wild broom ride. Great job on that one! Finding the frame makes this an even better treasure. So many fun Halloween decorations to celebrate...thanks for sharing them with us!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! Love the pillow at the top of your blog. 420 inches of bias tape....yikes!
ReplyDeleteLove your projects! 420" seems like a wickedly large amount of bias , and that makes me very curious about how it is used for the project. . . Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe witch Hazel stitchery is beautiful. Well done on completing it. I also love the star pattern.
ReplyDeleteWitch Hazel is adorable! That was perfect timing to get her finished for the blog hop, and a sweet gift from heaven to find the frame that your hubby had made. It was fun to see your other handmade decorations, too, Karrin! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteLJ here. Loved seeing some of your previous projects. What a memory they are. Witch Hazel is the best; your designing is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a deadline to move an old project to the fish line! Love your newly stitched witch! Gail at the cozy quilter.
