I figured that if I am going to get into the Halloween mood, there is no better way to start than with my NeedleDeeva Halloween Town. I stitched this way back when and enjoyed every single stitch. See I was working on NeedleDeeva stuff way before I even knew who the Deeva was! The Halloween Town made a trip to the annual ANG seminar and took home a blue ribbon for their efforts.  If you just gotta have this, stitch guides are available for each and everyone of these characters. I am sure that your favorite needlepoint shop could order this for you.

More Halloween stitching! A heart for next years Halloween decorating that is part of an exclusive club “Beloved and Bewitched” to Pocket Full of Stitches. I am still making up my mind how to have these finished…ornaments? or maybe sticks? This is one of my favorite ones…well it has a black cat on it, what are you thinking? I love these hearts as they are a fast stitch. One or two nights and you are done!

Do you like Halloween? Of course Christmas is the #1 holiday that we stitch for between stockings, pillows, standups, ornaments and so much more. But Halloween is right behind and is slowly catching up to the Christmas stitching.

A few more of those Halloween stitched pieces. Melissa Shirley candy canes and the black cat box by Birds of a Feather. This is as far as I got with my decorating and I am thinking that I will probably finish it up tomorrow in between getting some much needed housework done. Today is reserved for baseball and stitching.

Halloween is quite a favorite holiday of mine and as Christmas, every year I look for a new  something that I can add to the decoarting. I haven’t found anything yet for this year…you know it’s gotta talk to you and say take me home, it needs to make your heart skip a beat and all that stuff.

Well the other day my door bell rang and a package was left at my door. What is it? I haven’t ordered anything lately…or have I? What could this be?

WOW! It’s a Halloween quilt from my sister! She spoils me. Ooh I love, love, love did I say love this? The acid green is my favorite color. Do you see the top stitching? a program that manipulates the sewing machine top quilts in designs of ghosts, witches and bats. I see a ghost in the middle of the far right.

She tells me this is made from Jelly Roll fabrics. They are long strips of different fabrics and rolled as if you were making a jelly roll to eat, which creates these great designs. Did I get that right my sister?

It’s hard to pick out the favorite…but I think this one could be it. Check out the cats in this block. The arrival of my Halloween quilt was purr~fectly timed to the chill in the air. The temperatures that hit 102 less than a week ago has already chilled down to need to get a blanket out.

I have a box or two ready to pack up some donations to Goodwill and look what I found? do you think I should donate her too?

I don’t think so! and until next time…keep on stitching
