Good morning!
Only 2 more days til Halloween and both of our quilts are finally finished! We used 4 inch squares and they are twin size quilts ..there are 432 squares in each quilt .. Last year we made our first Halloween Quilts
We started them October 6 th and used mostly fabrics that I had in my craft room .. We did add some from the The Loopy ewe who had given us a cute bundle of Hallowen prints..
Since we finished these new ones had to be started ..I found these fabrics at Walmart .. they are fat quarters and I am using the quilt as you go method for making a strip quilt and these squares are 6-1/2 inches
This one is Swell Christmas jelly rolls with white snowflake fabric added .. It is also quilt as you go with 9 inch blocks ..It just needs backing and binding and a little more quilting :) It is also twin size
This is the video we watched to make these string quilts..
Chelsea started a baby quilt for Cash with a jelly roll and the quilt as you go string quilt .. her blocks are also 6-1/2 inches .. It is little farm fabrics and super cute!
For the Halloween quilts I used candy corn for backing and another candy corn fabric for binding ..You can see even the Halloween cat approves :) As you can see we want our quilts to be used and they are already getting great workouts!

Calvin was so mad I was stitching mice I had to do something so he doesn't kill me in my sleep :) Just kidding ..
***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****
any way I finished stitching these cute mice yesterday and I had one last Halloween piece I had bought at Walmart and I think it is perfect!
Right now I have it hanging on the powder room door but I think I will put it on the back of my front door ..
I wrapped Halloween colored berries around the wreath ..
I cut the welcome sign off the wreath ..it was held on with wire and attached the cat with hot glue to the wreath.. I mounted the stitching on sticky board ..I mounted black and orange polka dot fabric on sticky board ..before I glued them together I added a torn ruffle of orange and black gingham ..I glued the back of the polka dot covered sticky board to the wreath and added 2 bows and more berries to the sides. I also made a bow for the cat and took off the burlap one it came with ..
This is Field Mouse Hallow from With Thy Needle and Thread
The classic Colorworks color floss I used .. I used 28 count light grey tea/coffee dyed monaco ..I left out the stars and moon and added some more of the little eggshell colored designs and another sprig of bittersweet ..

Good morning!
You aren't seeing double :) I stitched one and my daughter Chelsea stitched one .. both are finished on the wood planks we have used for the other strings we have stitched ..
I used all Classic Colorworks floss and we both stitched it on 28 count evenweave that we dyed aqua ..
I mounted it on sticky board and mounted big red gingham check fabric to sticky board .. I then glued those together and added a red gingham ruffled ribbon around the outside
A bow of red/aqua plaid and some berries with bells of red and white completed our projects ..Of course I used magnets and washers to be able to interchange them ..

Hello friends!
I finished stitching this piece Oranmental Joy from Country Cottage Needleworks right after Christmas last year .. I finally decided to finish it up this week onto an enamel pot lid that I found at a flea market ..
Christmas was still up when I finished stitching it :)
I mounted it on sticky board and added a torn ruffle of homespun plaid fabric .. I used a magnet to attach to the pot lid and a magnet on the Christmas greenery pick .. I still might add a bow .. still thinking about that one ! I love it and can't wait to display it with all my other Christmas pretties!

When I put all the Halloween decor out .. I kept some areas for just Fall and the hutch in the family room is one of those places.. I found this hutch on Craigslistlast year and chalk painted it linen white.. it was hunter green ..
All Colored text is clickable for more information :)
I took out the sunflower stitches and added a few other Fall pieces in ..
I am loving the hutch with all the Fall stitching ..and can't wait to decorate it for Christmas in a couple weeks! On the door is Prairie Schooler Trick or Treat

Happy Sunday!
This is Spirits and Spells from With Thy Needle and Thread..She was one of my maynia starts and makes my 12th Maynia finish out of 31 starts..
I used all Classic Colorworks floss and stitched her on a piece of light grey 28 count evenweave that we dipped in brown Rit dye and then coffee/ tea dyed ..
I found this tray at a thrift store and I chalk painted and distressed it .. I mounted the witch on sticky board with a couple layers of batting. I tore charcoal grey homespun check fabric and glued it on in loops around the piece ..I used small pieces of sticky board stacked up in the bottom of the tray and added a magnet .. a washer was glued to the back of the stitched piece sticky board so I can change it out and use the tray again ..Hopefully for the Santa that is the same shape ..:) I added the bow usiong a pipe cleaner through one of the holes in the tray so that can be changed out too!

This is Chalk On The Farm ..Autumn Acres ..My chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands On Design and me ..
just the truck portion with Ronnie added , from the Queen Bee Flower Farm chart
I found this little rusty baking pan at a flea market ...and this fit perfectly ! I mounted it on sticky board ..added some mini poms from Lady Dot Creates in the color Jack ..I added magnets to the inside of the pan and washers to the back of the stitching . I made a bow for the top from orange buffalo check and added a velvet pumpkin .. I also put that on a magnet .. I might need to stick another piece in the pan so I need to be able to change it out!
