"I FEEL LIKE A WITCH WHEN I CAN'T FIND TIME TO STITCH!"


So, with it being Fall and all I thought I would show you some close up's of my witch quilt. It shows many of you who have not seen my work some of my embellishment tricks and some of the details. This quilt is larger than a full size quilt....I like to work large-it is easier and gives you more space to have fun and put in details. Hope you take a class one day and do your very own story quilt. Tell people who you are, what you love (holidays for me), who you love, and details of your memories and thoughts-how many people do diary quilts? Not enough.....

Hoochy mama blocks add some color and personality that plain blocks can't....
Frog soup anyone? I knew I wanted a caldron and it fit to make a frog with vegetables and spices and fun! Several months ago someone asked why I didn't do a two or three day workshop on Fall and Halloween? I never thought of it I guess. But it is such a fun holiday and the colors are so pretty and little kids are so adorable when they dress up and get excited about candy and the frivolty of the whole thing that is a cinch to come up with zillions of ideas.
A polka dotted crow? Why not? Black is boring and predictible....right?HOCUSPOLKADOTIS-get it? the other side says "ABRAQUILTDABRA" -it's fun to play with your imagination and ideas in a whimsical way-don't worry about what others think!!
