It's on the frame...

...and I am suppose to have this tumbler quilt finished by October 31...

I'm running out of time but I think I can still do it.

I linked up to A Lovely Year of Finishes the beginning of October

there is a link on my side bar and this is the quilt I said I would

finish by the end of the month.

I'm trying to finish up some of my UFO's.

Hopefully I will have the binding sewn on tomorrow and
hand stitch it on Wednesday.

I got behind with everything...with severe back pains...
it started Thursday and I only started feeling better on Sunday.
It was a pain I experienced about 20 years ago...when I had kidney stones.
I started drinking lots of water and cranberry juice...took some pain meds
and slept a lot and I am feeling much better today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope you are having a fun time on the Wicked Blog Hop!

There is sEw much inspiration and sEw many things I want to make.

Look who's flying on their brooms today...

The first project is a mini quilt for a table topper.

It is a pattern I bought in August at the AQS show in Grand Rapids.

I hand embroidered it with black Aurifil 12 wt embroidery cotton.

The pattern is by Gail Pan Designs called- halloween.

It finishes at 10.5" by 12.5".

The witch dolls I made a long time ago

when I belonged to a craft group in Canada.

I have missed crafting with the girls these last 12 years...

soon I will be able to join the girls on Wednesday evenings!!

We will be moving back to Canada...soon.

More about that in another post.

...a closer view.

My next project is a quilt that has been a UFO for a long time.

The embroidery was started a number of years ago but never finished.

This was the one project I really wanted to get finished.

The pattern is by Buttermilk Basin called A Full Moon Needlework BOM.

I stitched the embroidery using Presencia 8 wt black

I changed the border layout of the pattern slightly and I like how I finished it.

It measures approximately 37" by 37".

and a few more pictures...

and the back...loved this fabric.

and a few close ups showing the quilting...me on my broom!!

an vampire bat

and part of a jack-o-lantern.

My last project is a tea towel.

I used a portion of the pattern by Bird Brain Designs called...

Witches Hooray Table Runner.

I wash my tea towels and fabric before I start my embroidery.

I used Aurifil 12 wt black for the embroidery

a 2.5" x 22" piece of fabric and 22" jumbo size ric rac.

The scarecrow and the pumpkin was another craft project

made many years ago with Becky's crafty girls...

...one more close up picture.

I hope you enjoyed my parade of wicked Halloween projects.
