Out of the Dark Blog Hop

 


Welcome to our "Out of the Dark" blog hop, where we bring you the best of the Halloween goodies that anyone could ever hope to trick or treat for. We have a great lineup of friends, ready to share their projects with you. So sit back and enjoy 4 days of fun.

_______________________________________________________

Twas the night before Halloween and all thru the house

Not a creature was stirring, except for the spouse.

Who was down in the sewing room, so no one would hear

the roar of an embroidery and a sewing machine kicking into gear...

Yep, that pretty much how how it's been around here lately, since I just couldn't decide on what project to share. 

So, I have two for you!


First up is "Trick or Treat Smell My Feet" by Shabby Fabrics
It's been in my stash of to-do patterns and was a great reminder of why I love fusible applique.
These colorful little guys just make me smile. Who doesn't remember that saying? I am sure I tormented many with it! HAHAHA


 "The Adventures of Ms Stitch" was a block of the week by "Sweet Pea Machine Embroidery".
It was a mystery quilt with a twist. The blocks come with designs to make it a normal sewing theme, or a Halloween theme or a Christmas theme. They also had add-on border blocks in many different themes you could choose to use. I went with the sewing theme. 
There were so many fun photos posted on their facebook page, that I might just be making a Christmas one soon, too.
Check out the detail in the blocks...
I bet like me, you can identify with many of them.
LOL!!









They even offered an option for a dog instead of a cat.




There you have it...Halloween rocking my soul once again.

Please visit my fellow bloggers and see their creations.
Leave them a little love with a sweet comment, while you are there.
It means to world to us.

til next time...
