A big shout out to everyone who participated in the "Monster Mash" blog hop. This year was no exception when it comes to delightful scary/not scary Halloween projects! It's always fun to see how everyone comes together with their amazing Halloween projects! As you know, it is Carol and my favorite time of the year!
Next month we are getting our feathers ruffled for the "Turkey Trot" hop!
There are still a few spots open if you want to play along.
Just drop me a line!
Carol will be finishing up the year with her "Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange" hop.
Email her if you want to play along.
But that's not all...
Watch for our BIG announcement tomorrow!
I think you are going to love next year's hops and we have added a couple new ways to play along.
til next time...

It's my day on the "Monster Mash" hop and while there are no monsters in my project, that doesn't mean that the ghouls and goblins didn't mess with me, as I was sewing it! I blame them, but it really was my fault. There were so many little pieces and they all were cut different sizes. I labeled them, but next time I would add the size of each piece on the label and attach the labels much better, as well.
Live and learn. LOL!!
This is my "Witches Night Out" quilt. The pattern is from "It's Sew Emma".
I precut it and took it on my quilt retreat last month. Whew...never have I ever drawn so many diagonal lines for one quilt before.
I stitched and I stitched...
and had so much fun, watching it come together...
My hotel room bed was a great design wall.
If you caught my earlier post, you saw just how convenient that bed was. Perfect height for sitting on to sew. Heck, I didn't even have to get out of bed all day if I didn't want to, especially since my roomie brought me coffee in the mornings!
I love this time of the year!
It was the perfect backdrop for a photo shoot and Sweet Pea had to get in on the action.
Little Man approved, as well!
Although it was more like, get me out of this thing, so I can get down and drool on something new!
While on retreat, we were treated to an hour long Q&A with Jenny Doan, Misty and Natalie! Those girls sure know how to motivate a person. They were talking about their triple play "YouTube" videos. Having never seen one, I decided to search them out when we got back to our room. I was so inspired by one of them, that when I came home, I dumped out all my Halloween fabric stash, went right to work on my version.
This is from their rail fence video.
I borrowed the bat from another quilt pattern I had made 8 years ago, surprisingly enough it just came up on my Facebook memories the other day!
Our favorite time of the year, when the Ghouls and Goblins start having some fun and our "witchy-ness" starts to show.
Starting next Monday we have some "monstrously" fun bloggers who are sharing their favorite Halloween projects with us. You are definitely not going to want to miss out on the fun.
It's our most favorite time of the year, and this year I get to host the Halloween challenge.
Whoop Whoop!
Sew something scary, not scary, or something in between. If it's Halloween related you know we will love it.
We have a great lineup of "Monstrously" fabulous bloggers, just waiting to share their ghoulish delights with us!
If you want to join in, now is the time!
Spots are limited, so send me your info ASAP!
It's a crazy fun time of the year, so make your plans for the November
"Turkey Trot" Challenge that I am hosting as well...
Think Turkeys, thankfulness, or Thanksgiving fabric. November also means beautiful colors of fall, so sew something with orange, golds, browns, greens or cranberry reds.
Let me know if you want to join in.
December brings us to Carols yearly "Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange" challenge.
Recipes are optional. You can share or not. Tell us about your Christmas traditions. Show off your Christmas decorations/tree. Spill your funny Christmas Stories. If it's about Christmas, we want to hear about it.
Let Carol know if you want to join in on the festivities!
And that wraps up the challenges for this year.
We are excited to say, that we have already put on our thinking caps and are planning for next years blog hops. We have some fun ideas rolling around, but would love to hear what you think we should do!
Leave a comment with your suggestions!
til next time...
